Augrented Insights Report for 164 Franklin Avenue

164 Franklin Avenue is a 3-story, 6-unit New Law Tenement building in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Isreal Weinstock and constructed in 1905. The building has a documented history of maintenance issues, with particularly concerning patterns emerging in recent years. The property has been cited for multiple violations regarding bedbug reporting compliance between 2021-2024, though recent filings (most recently December 2024) show no current infestations.

Most notably, there are currently four active violations (as of June 2024) concerning the failure to file external low-pressure inspections for the years 2020-2023, indicating potential safety concerns regarding pressure systems. The building has experienced several significant construction-related incidents, including two separate instances of work being conducted in violation of stop work orders in 2020-2023, with one incident resulting in a $1,250 penalty for failure to provide site access for inspection. In late 2016, multiple violations were documented in unit 3L, including issues with bathroom fixtures, kitchen hot water supply, hallway alterations, and interior painting requirements, though these were certified as corrected in 2022.

The property has had an inconsistent record of rodent control, with rat activity recorded in 2014 and 2025, though it passed inspections in 2020 and 2024. Additionally, there was a period in 2017-2022 where the building repeatedly received violations for inadequate front entrance lighting, although this seemed to be addressed by 2022. The building's documented history shows a mix of resolved and active violations, with particular attention needed to the current outstanding issues related to pressure inspections and recent construction compliance matters.
