Augrented Insights Report for 631 Franklin Avenue

631 Franklin Avenue is a three-story, two-family residential building constructed in 1905 and currently owned by Gregory Bodrick. The property has experienced persistent heating and hot water system issues throughout 2024 and into 2025, with multiple complaints filed through HPD and the Housing Maintenance Code, particularly during February-March 2025 where eight consecutive service requests were made. The building has active violations from 2024 related to maintenance of the facade, with documented issues of loose sections posing potential risk to the public, resulting in an Environmental Control Board violation with a $1,250 penalty.

Historical records show recurring maintenance issues in Apartment 1, including problems with heating, plumbing, and carbon monoxide detection systems between 2021-2024. The building's rodent inspection results show generally good compliance with eight consecutive passed inspections from 2020-2024, though there were two failures in late 2023 that have since been resolved. Recent structural concerns were noted in 2024, with the building being placed under structural monitoring at one point. The property has undergone periodic sidewalk shed installation, with a recent complaint in 2025 being resolved with no violations found.

The building has a pattern of heat and hot water-related complaints, with many instances between 2024-2025 where HPD was unable to gain access for inspection. Additionally, there are several open violations from 2023-2024 related to building maintenance, including issues with public hall ceilings, hallway plaster, and various apartment repairs. The property was previously cited for vibration concerns in 2020, though no violation was warranted at that time. While the building has maintained good rodent control compliance in recent years, the recurring heating issues and facade maintenance requirements suggest ongoing maintenance challenges for the property.
