755 Franklin Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11238

755 Franklin Avenue is a three-story, two-family house located in Crown Heights, built in 1899 and currently owned by Ismene Speliotis. The building has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water systems, with the most recent incident occurring in April 2024 affecting the entire building, following a pattern of similar complaints in 2022 and 2021. Between February and March 2022, the property faced multiple heat and hot water-related complaints that resulted in both emergency responses and violations, including excessively hot water (over 130°F) in apartment 2A.

The building also underwent several emergency repairs during this period, with violations issued for hot water supply issues and the need for proper gas leak notification procedures. Additional maintenance concerns noted in 2022 included plumbing issues in apartment 1A, which required addressing multiple deficiencies such as inadequate cold water supply, missing kitchen fixtures, and pest infestations (mice and roaches). The property's recent history shows some positive developments regarding pest management, with no bedbug infestations reported since 2021, as confirmed by multiple bedbug reporting filings up to February 2025.

Rodent inspections conducted in 2023 and 2024 showed passing results, indicating improved conditions in this regard. The building maintenance records suggest attention to addressing violations when issued, though the recurring nature of heat and hot water complaints indicates ongoing system challenges. The most recent service requests and violations have generally been resolved within a short timeframe, typically within a few days of reporting.
