1345 Franklin Avenue, Bronx, NY 10456

1345 Franklin Avenue is a 6-story, 61-unit residential building constructed in 2003, currently owned by Angelique Gonzalez. The building has experienced recurring heating and hot water issues, particularly in December 2024, with three emergency complaints just weeks apart, affecting the entire building.

The property faces several open violations from 2023, including concerns with a ventilation system, water leak, mold condition, and various ceiling issues in public areas. Notable maintenance problems have persisted since 2019, including failure to comply with energy benchmarking requirements, though recent bedbug reports indicate successful eradication of infestations, with none reported in the past year. The elevator system has generated multiple complaints between 2020-2023, though inspections did not warrant violations.

Recent inspections have documented both general and specific issues, such as problems with the garbage/recycling storage areas and security systems like the buzzer/intercom. The building's history shows ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly regarding building systems and public areas, with multiple instances requiring HPD intervention. While rodent inspections from 2015-2022 have consistently passed, indicating good sanitation standards, there remain significant concerns about heating infrastructure, maintenance compliance, and building systems that could affect resident comfort and safety.
