Augrented Insights Report for 585 Franklin Avenue

The 4-story, 3-unit residential building at 585 Franklin Avenue in Crown Heights, constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Leah Waldman, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing concerns being heating system problems and safety violations. Most notably, during October 2024, there were multiple emergency complaints regarding heat and hot water issues, with at least one verified violation related to inadequate hot water supply in the building.

The property has also accumulated several open Department of Buildings violations regarding external low-pressure inspections from 2018-2023, indicating potential neglect of safety equipment maintenance. The building has faced numerous challenges with apartment 4, as evidenced by multiple violations and complaints throughout 2023-2024, including issues with the roof leaking over the bathroom ceiling, rodent activity, and various safety system deficiencies (carbon monoxide detector, smoke detector, and fire escape concerns).

While inspections from 2024-2025 have shown the building to be free of bedbug infestations, there have been ongoing rodent activity reports between 2023 and 2024, requiring multiple baiting interventions. Additional mechanical concerns were highlighted with a sprinkler system inspection in 2025 where access was not granted for verification. The property management has shown some responsiveness to violations, with certain issues being marked as "Certified" in HPD records, though several open violations remain, particularly regarding the building's heating system and mandatory safety equipment maintenance.
