761 Franklin Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11238

The 8-unit, 4-story old law tenement building at 761 Franklin Avenue in Crown Heights, owned by Bk-v-l Limited Partnership, has experienced several notable events in recent years, primarily related to pest control and regulatory compliance. Most recently, in December 2024, there was a bedbug infestation reported in one unit, though records indicate it was successfully eradicated with no re-infestation reported.

The building has shown consistent attention to rodent control, with passed inspections in 2024, 2023, 2022, and 2021, though two rodent sighting complaints were filed with the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene in 2021 and 2022. An investigation into potential illegal hotel rooms was initiated in October 2024, but the inspector was unable to gain access during the final attempt in December 2024. The building's pest management history shows regular monitoring and reporting, with no bedbug problems recorded from 2020-2023, and rodent inspections have consistently passed since 2010, with bait applied only once in 2021.

Previous annual bedbug reports from 2019 through 2020 showed zero infested units, indicating effective management prior to the recent infestation. A permit for electrical work was issued in March 2019, though the specific details of this work are not provided in the records. The building's overall inspection history suggests an active approach to maintaining compliance with New York City housing regulations, with all rodent inspections passing and prompt responses to reported issues.
