166 Franklin Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11205
166 Franklin Avenue is a three-story, 10-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1905, currently owned by Yoel Salcer and located in Bedford-Stuyvesant. The building has experienced several maintenance and regulatory challenges in recent years, with the most pressing issues being its failure to maintain proper low-pressure system inspections, having accumulated six active violations between 2018 and 2023, including the latest from September 2024.
The building has also faced multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations, particularly notable are the bedbug report filing violations from 2023 and 2024, and various open violations from September 2022 including defective plaster and paint conditions in public areas, illegal roof door lock installations, and missing safety notifications regarding smoke detector requirements. The property has maintained a mixed record regarding pest control, showing recent improvements with rodent inspections passing in 2022, 2024, and 2025, following earlier issues in 2020-2021 when rat activity was noted and baiting was implemented.
Historical records show the building has been consistently addressing its bedbug situation, with recent filings in 2025, 2023, and 2021 indicating no infestations occurred during these reporting periods. The building's maintenance history reflects some attention to compliance, as evidenced by the closing of certain violations, though many remain open as of October 2023 that require monitoring. The property has also recently completed its annual bedbug reporting requirements, showing a pattern of compliance with this particular safety measure despite previous violations.
