775 Franklin Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11238
The three-story, two-unit building at 775 Franklin Avenue in Crown Heights, owned by Ahmed Allowey, has a mixed history since its 1910 construction. Most notably, there has been an ongoing pattern of food safety and sanitation issues, with multiple complaints filed between 2022 and 2025, including recent incidents in 2025 related to pet/animal concerns and a 2024 food poisoning complaint that was still open as of October 2023. The building has faced significant regulatory challenges, particularly regarding annual bedbug report filings, with open violations dating from 2021 through 2024.
There were also violations noted for failure to file annual boiler and external low-pressure inspection reports from 2018 through 2023, with the most recent violation issued in September 2024 still being active. The property has experienced multiple maintenance and safety concerns affecting resident comfort and hygiene. In 2024, there was a heat and hot water complaint involving the entire building, though inspectors were unable to gain access for verification. The building has undergone several pest-related inspections, with mixed accessibility for inspectors, and had documented issues with flooring/stairs that were classified as an emergency in 2023.
While there have been multiple unsanitary condition complaints related to pests between 2022 and 2023, recent rodent inspections in 2023, 2024, and 2025 have passed, suggesting some improvement in pest management. The building's history also shows regular engagement with the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH), particularly regarding food establishment inspections, with various complaints about hand hygiene and rodent/insect issues being addressed through administrative closures or inspections. The provided data indicates that while some health and safety issues have been addressed, there are persistent concerns regarding compliance with inspection reporting requirements and periodic heating and sanitation challenges. Recent improvements in rodent control and the passing of initial inspections are positive developments, though the pattern of food-related complaints suggests ongoing monitoring of hygiene practices in and around the building.
