1372 Franklin Avenue, Bronx, NY 10456

The 48-unit, 6-story building at 1372 Franklin Avenue in Morrisania, constructed in 1931, has experienced ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly in recent months. As of July 2025, the building has multiple open complaints related to heat/hot water issues (both building-wide and apartment-specific), unsanitary conditions (pests), and various maintenance problems including flooring, water leaks, and window frame issues. Notable violations from April 2024 include defects in fire-retardant material and the need for painting work in the 6th-floor public hall.

The building has a history of utility-related problems, with multiple heat/hot water complaints in early 2025 and an electricity issue in October 2024. Between 2020-2021, energy efficiency compliance matters were noted, though specific details aren't available in the current records. The property has been subject to various inspections and remediation efforts regarding pests and rodents.

While more recent bedbug reports (2022-2024) show no infestations, historical records from 2022 indicate a roach infestation in apartment 6E. The building underwent several rodent control measures in 2016-2018, with some inspections indicating rat activity, though recent inspections have passed. The Department of Buildings records show a violation related to energy efficiency score display requirements from 2021 that remains active. Despite these ongoing issues, the building has shown some compliance with certain violations, as evidenced by the closing of several maintenance code violations between 2022-2024, including repairs to plaster surfaces, fire-rated materials, and window glass panes.
