Augrented Insights Report for 789 Franklin Avenue

The three-story, 8-unit tenement building at 789 Franklin Avenue in Crown Heights, owned by Donovan Martin, has experienced multiple recurring maintenance issues in recent years. Most concerning are the cluster of complaints from May 2025, including reports of pests, mold, wall conditions, and ventilation problems - all of which HPD was unable to inspect despite multiple complaints being filed on the same day.

Earlier issues in 2024-2025 included heat/hot water problems affecting the entire building, water leak concerns, door/window difficulties, and two emergency mold violations in apartment 2D. The building has open violations related to defective gas stove equipment and wall/ceiling conditions in apartment 2C, and electrical wiring and gas piping complaints were recorded in April 2024.

The property has undergone regular rodent inspections, all passing since 2015, suggesting effective pest control measures. While there was one documented instance of bedbug infestation in 2019-2020, subsequent years (2020-2024) show no reported infestations, indicating successful eradication efforts. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of access issues during HPD inspections, as seen in multiple complaints across different years, including recent complaints regarding heat/hot water (January 2025), door/window (July 2024), and water leak (April 2024) complaints where inspectors were unable to gain access.
