Augrented Insights Report for 728 Franklin Avenue

728 Franklin Avenue is a 4-story, 8-unit residential tenement building in Crown Heights, built in 1906 and currently owned by Sam Berkowitz. The building has experienced several maintenance and health-related issues in recent years, with the most significant problems occurring in apartment 4B, including mold and water leak issues documented in August 2024. Multiple housing maintenance code complaints and violations have been recorded between 2024 and 2025, though many were subsequently closed after the landlord completed required repairs.

These included issues with unsanitary conditions (including pests and garbage storage), water leaks, and problems with various appliances. The building has faced ongoing concerns regarding pest control and sanitation. Recent rodent inspections in 2025 have shown rat activity as of July 2025, while earlier inspections throughout 2023-2024 showed mixed results, with some passing and some indicating rat activity.

The property has also experienced recurring issues with food establishments, with multiple Department of Health complaints recorded in 2025 related to letter grading and permits. While the building's bedbug reports from 2021 to 2024 indicate no infestation cases, the presence of various maintenance issues suggests ongoing challenges with building upkeep. The building's records show a pattern of addressing violations and complaints, though there remain some open issues that require attention, particularly concerning building maintenance and public health compliance.
