Augrented Insights Report for 579 Franklin Avenue

The four-story, 1905 Old Law Tenement building at 579 Franklin Avenue in Crown Heights, currently owned by Schelton Assoumou, has experienced persistent pest and maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, there have been recurring rodent problems, with multiple DOHMH complaints between 2023 and 2024 documenting rat sightings and conditions attracting rodents.

While recent inspections in 2025 and late 2024 passed without significant findings, the building's history shows an ongoing struggle with vermin, including documented rat activity and compliance failures between 2023-2024. The property has also faced environmental challenges, with active ECB violations as of 2024 regarding excessive combustible debris in the rear yard and an unauthorized wood structure, resulting in penalties totaling $7,375. While there have been improvements in bedbug management, with no reported infestations since 2021, other maintenance concerns persist.

The building has recorded various safety and sanitation complaints, including issues with fire escapes, garbage storage, and plumbing facilities, particularly during 2021-2022. Recent complaints in 2024-2025 have focused primarily on debris management, though many inspections resulted in "Inspector Unable to Gain Access" outcomes. The building has maintained regular bedbug reporting compliance, showing zero infested units in the past three years, suggesting some progress in pest management despite ongoing rodent issues.
