Augrented Insights Report for 683 Franklin Avenue

This three-story, four-unit residential building at 683 Franklin Avenue in Crown Heights, owned by David Kramer, is a New Law tenement constructed in 1905. The property has experienced recurring water-related issues, with multiple emergency complaints regarding "heavy flow" water leaks filed between 2023-2024, affecting apartments 1A and 2, particularly on the east wall and ceiling areas.

These incidents resulted in several Housing Maintenance Code violations focused on repair requirements for water damage and mold conditions. Other notable maintenance concerns include an August 2023 complaint about unsanitary mold conditions, an February 2023 heat/hot water issue in one apartment, and work required to address broken plastered surfaces and paint defects. The building has maintained a good track record in recent years regarding pest management, with quarterly rodent inspections consistently passing from 2019 to 2025, and quarterly bedbug reports showing no infestations since 2021.

There were two mobile food vendor-related complaints in 2024 and 2021, and in October 2021, there was a COVID-related vaccine mandate non-compliance issue. In terms of building safety and compliance, two complaints were filed in 2021 regarding illegal commercial use and certificate of occupancy concerns, though inspections found no violations. The most recent significant inspection (2023-09-27) resulted in open violations for water leaks, mold conditions, and plaster repair issues in apartments 1A and 2, which remain on record as of the latest data.
