Augrented Insights Report for 697 Franklin Avenue

The 8-unit, 4-story old law tenement at 697 Franklin Avenue in Crown Heights, owned by Ann Marie Mierez and constructed in 1931, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over the past two years. Most notably, there have been multiple instances of rodent activity*, with recent rodent sightings reported in 2025 (June and April) and inspections confirming the presence of rats. The building has also undergone significant plumbing-related challenges, including multiple toilet issues in 2024 (which received violations) and several emergency plumbing complaints in 2025 involving bathtubs/showers and sinks.

There are current open violations from 2024 in apartment 4F related to bathroom connections, kitchen hood security, and window repairs, as well as open Class C violations from 2024 in apartment 2R indicating ongoing pest infestation concerns (specifically roaches and mice). The property has shown some improvement in building systems and maintenance response, with multiple work permits issued between 2021-2023 for various repairs, including electrical and plumbing work. Recent inspections in 2023 showed rat activity, though subsequent inspections in 2024 and 2025 passed. The building underwent Local Law 188/17 compliance inspections in 2023 and 2024, with at least one inspection requiring finalization.

Noteworthy safety-related complaints were filed in 2025, including issues with smoke detectors, bathroom fixtures, and door frames, though these were subsequently closed. The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in the past seven years. While the building has experienced ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly related to plumbing, building systems, and pest control, recent inspections suggest some level of responsive maintenance has been implemented to address these issues. *Note: Each instance of rodent or pest activity was verified through multiple 311 complaints and inspection records, though some complaint resolutions indicated required re-inspection or related systems issues affecting interior conditions.
