148 Franklin Street, Manhattan, NY 10013

148 Franklin Street is a 7-story, 9-unit commercial altered Class A building located in Tribeca, built in 1883 and currently owned by Mark Gibson. The building has experienced several maintenance and compliance issues in recent years, most notably regarding elevator safety. A 2019 violation was issued for failing to correct defects found in a 2017 CAT 1 inspection/test, which is still listed as active.

Multiple violations related to the building's exterior wall conditions have been documented in 2022-2023, including failure to submit required inspection reports and post required certificates, though these were subsequently resolved. The property has had recurring issues with bedbug reporting compliance, receiving violations in multiple years (2021-2022), though recent filings from 2023-2024 show no reported infestations. The building has undergone regular improvements, as evidenced by multiple permit issuances between 2019 and 2022, including elevator work and exterior maintenance.

Recent inspections from 2022-2023 show no significant violations at the time of inspection, including checks for rodent problems, which have historically passed consistently from 2010-2018. Two notable complaints about sidewalk shed conditions were filed in 2020 and 2023, both of which resulted in no violations being warranted upon inspection. The property has maintained an active schedule of bedbug inspections and reporting, with no documented infestations since 2019, suggesting effective pest management practices.
