171 Franklin Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11205

171 Franklin Avenue, an 8-story residential building constructed in 2002 and owned by Abraham Weinberger, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past four years. Most recently, in April 2024, a violation was issued regarding household items obstructing public hall stairs, though this was certified as corrected by May 2024.

The building has multiple open violations related to encumbrances in stairwells and corridors from a March 2022 inspection, and there are active violations for failing to file required FISP Cycle 8C and 9C technical reports for exterior examination in 2019 and 2024, respectively. In September 2023, a boiler-related violation was recorded, noting a hole in the ceiling and debris in both the rooftop boiler room and the cellar gas meter room, resulting in a $500 fine. The building's safety issues have included several violations related to self-closing doors and security features in 2022, such as defective self-closing doors in Apartment 2 and unauthorized locks at roof bulkhead doors.

Fire safety concerns were addressed through various corrections, including the replacement of a missing metal handrail in Fire Stair A. The property has maintained good pest control records, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past five years and consistent passing inspections for rodent presence from 2014 through 2024, with only two failures recorded in 2010-2011. While the building has a history of violations, particularly around filing requirements and hallway maintenance, recent years have shown improvements in various areas, though some safety and compliance issues remain unresolved.
