156 Franklin Street, Manhattan, NY 10013

156 Franklin Street is a 7-story, 8-unit Class A residential building in Tribeca, built in 1874 and currently owned by Jeffrey Lieberman. The building has experienced persistent issues with bedbug reporting compliance, with open violations recorded in 2022, 2023, and most recently in 2024, all related to failure to submit the required annual bedbug reports to HPD.

Despite these violations, the building has maintained a clean record regarding actual bedbug infestations, as evidenced by bedbug filings from 2019-2021 showing no infested units or successful eradications during those periods. The property has undergone regular Safety Inspections, with two tenant safety inspections in late 2021 receiving either compliance achievement or no violations found. The building's maintenance history shows attention to various infrastructure needs, with multiple permits issued between 2018 and 2020 for plumbing and electrical work.

The Department of Buildings has active concerns about Local Law 188/17 compliance as of 2025, though no specific violations are recorded. Historical rodent inspections conducted between 2010 and 2018 have consistently passed, suggesting good pest management practices, and the building has had three DOB violations issued between 2019-2021 that were subsequently resolved. While the persistent bedbug reporting violations are concerning from a compliance standpoint, the absence of actual infestations implies effective pest control, and the building generally maintains good safety inspection results and prompt resolution of most violations.
