Augrented Insights Report for 788 Franklin Avenue

The 4-story, 6-unit tenement building at 788 Franklin Avenue in Crown Heights, owned by Mendy Brunner, has experienced significant maintenance and safety issues between 2023-2025. Most concerning are the ongoing food establishment violations reported in June 2025 regarding worker hygiene and pest control issues, with similar rodent and insect problems reported in multiple complaints throughout 2024. The building has faced persistent water-related issues, with multiple complaints about damp spots and water leaks between 2024-2025, including violations of the Housing Maintenance Code.

Apartment 4B has been specifically problematic, with multiple violations including rodent infestations, damaged plastered surfaces, and water leaks. The property has also encountered serious safety concerns, including two active ECB violations as of July 2024 related to failure to comply with previous commissioners' orders. These violations include failure to address safety equipment measures and construction-related issues.

Multiple Department of Buildings inspections in 2024 noted various violations, including problems with egress, construction documentation, and unauthorized work. While recent rodent inspections in 2025 have passed, the building's history suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The property has consistently filed zero bedbug infestation reports since 2020, indicating effective pest management in this regard. Recent DOB permit activity shows multiple issued permits between 2019-2023, suggesting ongoing maintenance and improvement work, though there have been several associated violation notices.
