95 Franklin Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11205
95 Franklin Avenue is a three-story, three-unit residential building constructed in 1901 in Bedford-Stuyvesant, currently owned by 95 Franklin Residence LLC. The property has experienced persistent maintenance challenges over the past several years, with particular concerns regarding rodent activity and building infrastructure. Most notably, there has been an ongoing rodent infestation issue, with multiple inspections and baiting treatments recorded between 2022 and 2025, including several instances of rat activity in 2023-2024 and bait application in late 2024.
The building has also faced significant structural and safety concerns, as evidenced by multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations, including open Class B violations from 2020 related to various structural issues such as broken cornices, defective fire-retardant plaster, and missing balusters in public areas. A Class C violation from 2021 regarding the front porch roof fascia and columns remains open as of the latest inspection. The building's maintenance history shows recurring problems with heat and hot water systems, particularly noted in complaints from 2019-2020, though inspectors were often unable to gain access for proper evaluation.
Multiple inspections and 311 complaints have been filed regarding various maintenance issues such as plumbing, plaster work, and stair conditions, though many of these resulted in no violations being issued upon inspection. The property has regularly filed its bedbug reports in recent years, with the latest report from July 2025 indicating no current infestations, though previous annual reports had shown infestation history. An early complaint from 2018 regarding building vibrations was investigated and resulted in an oath violation, while a subsequent 2018 Environmental Control Board violation was issued for failure to maintain building code compliance, specifically citing defective front steps and exterior wall issues.
