157 Franklin Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11205
The three-story, three-unit tenement building at 157 Franklin Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Nelly Cordero and constructed in 1901, has experienced recurring compliance issues over the past several years. Most notably, there has been a consistent pattern of violations related to bedbug report filings, with open Housing Maintenance Code violations recorded in 2022, 2023, and 2024 all citing failure to submit the required annual bedbug reports as mandated by HPD regulations.
The building's rodent inspection history shows some cause for concern, with recent activity suggesting ongoing pest management challenges; most notably, in July 2024, the building was found to have rat activity, following another rodent inspection just one month prior that also indicated rat activity. However, the most recent rodent inspection in June 2025 passed successfully, suggesting some improvement in pest control measures.
The rodent inspection data shows a mix of results over the years, with multiple successful inspections, including a passed inspection in September 2022 and several passed inspections between 2014-2017, though there were also instances of rat activity recorded in 2017 and 2024, as well as a failed inspection in March 2014 for other reasons. While the building has maintained three units and was built according to the standards of its time, the persistent bedbug report violation pattern and sporadic rodent activity suggest ongoing maintenance challenges that have affected the property for multiple years.
