680 Franklin Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11238

The three-story, two-family house at 680 Franklin Avenue in Crown Heights, owned by Pedro Tavarez, was constructed in 1930 and has experienced various regulatory inspections over the past several years. Most notably, there was a serious concern regarding the building's Certificate of Occupancy in May 2020, when a complaint about possible illegal conditions was filed with the Department of Buildings.

While an inspection was conducted on May 22, 2020, the inspector was unable to gain access to the property, marking this incident as significant due to potential safety and legal implications. In terms of pest control, the property has undergone regular rodent inspections from 2020 through 2025. The most recent inspection in April 2025 resulted in a passing grade, as did the preceding inspection in October 2024.

However, there were two concerning inspections in late 2023 (October and November) that documented rat activity, marking a notable period of pest control challenges. Prior to this, the building consistently passed rodent inspections from 2020 through early 2023, suggesting that while the recent rodent activity might indicate a pattern, the most current inspections show improvement in this area. The building's inspection history demonstrates ongoing regulatory oversight, with particular attention needed to address both the historical Certificate of Occupancy complaint and the recent rodent activity incidents.
