Augrented Insights Report for 168 Franklin Avenue

The five-story, 118-unit building at 168 Franklin Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Ken Konfong, has experienced several significant maintenance issues since its completion in 2014. Most recently, in June 2025, there were documented rat sightings, and previous complaints in 2025 indicated various access issues for inspections by HPD and DOHMH regarding heat/hot water, unsanitary conditions, and appliance problems.

The building has a concerning pattern of heat and hot water complaints, with multiple incidents reported throughout 2024 and 2025 affecting the entire building, though many were resolved or verified as corrected following inspections. Additional maintenance concerns include a window frame issue reported in January 2025, and various problems with appliances, including electric/gas ranges. Recent inspection records show rat activity was confirmed as of June 2025, following a previous passed inspection in 2024.

The building has maintained a clean bedbug record since 2021, with no reported infestations in any dwelling units over multiple reporting periods. Several complaints and violations were recorded in 2025 regarding building systems and safety features, including issues with scaffolding, elevator devices, and structural concerns, though many were ultimately found not warranting violations upon inspection. The property has also addressed several regulatory requirements over the years, including installing proper notices for smoke and carbon monoxide detector requirements, though there were past violations related to bedbug reporting requirements that have since been resolved.
