Augrented Insights Report for 573 Franklin Avenue

The four-story, 4-unit Old Law Tenement at 573 Franklin Avenue in Crown Heights, owned by Michelle Choy and built in 1910, has experienced several notable maintenance and compliance issues in recent years. Most concerning are the active violations related to the building's low-pressure boiler system, with five open violations from 2023-2024 for failure to file required annual inspection reports, resulting in a $625 penalty.

The building has also faced recurring rodent issues, with multiple inspections in 2023-2025 showing "Rat Activity" as recently as January 2023, though three consecutive passed inspections in 2024-2025 are more promising. The property has a documented history of emergency cooking gas issues in April 2019, and multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations between 2018-2021, including problems with self-closing doors and hot water temperature in Apartment 2. While there have been concerns about bedbugs in previous years, the building has maintained a clean record in the past three reporting periods (2021-2024) with no reported infestations or eradications.

Two complaints about illegal conversions in 2021-2022 resulted in inspectors being unable to gain access for verification. The building's management has consistently filed bedbug reports showing no infestations, though there were violations for failing to submit annual reports noted in 2021-2022. Recent permits from 2019-2020 for emergency work were properly issued, and housing violations related to door hardware and public safety have mostly been addressed, though some remain open.
