188 Franklin Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11205
188 Franklin Avenue is a 4-story, 3-unit residential building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, constructed in 2009 and currently owned by Shia Lefkowitz. The building has maintained a generally positive health and safety record over the past decade, though there have been recurring administrative issues related to bedbug reporting compliance.
From 2021 to 2024, the property received four Class A violations for failing to file annual bedbug reports as required under the Housing Maintenance Code, though all these violations were subsequently closed. Notably, the most recent bedbug report filed in June 2025 for the period of November 2023 to October 2024 indicated zero infested or re-infested dwelling units, suggesting successful compliance with eradication protocols.
The building's rodent inspection history is particularly noteworthy for its consistency in passing inspections over recent years. The most recent inspection on June 24, 2025, resulted in a passing grade, as did inspections in 2024 and 2022. There was one historical compliance-related inspection from 2014 that passed, though an initial inspection from March 2014 failed for "other reasons." The property's relatively recent construction, combined with the current bedbug and rodent inspection results, indicates that while there have been some regulatory compliance issues in the past, the building has made significant progress in maintaining a pest-free environment in recent years.
