167 Franklin Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11205
167 Franklin Avenue, an 8-story Class A building constructed in 2003 in Bedford-Stuyvesant and currently owned by Chaim Schwartz, has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing concerns emerging in late 2024. A significant cluster of violations was documented during an October 2024 inspection, including open violations relating to obstructions in public hallways on multiple floors (1st, 4th, 6th, 8th) involving household items and strollers, and several fire safety concerns such as defective self-closing doors and latches at Fire Doors A and B on the 1st floor.
Additionally, there is an open violation regarding the need for proper repairs to the fire-retardant material at the east wall in the 5th-story public hall. The building has shown a consistent commitment to pest management, with no documented bedbug infestations in recent years, as evidenced by multiple reports between 2021-2023 showing zero infested dwelling units.
The property has maintained a passing record in regular rodent inspections conducted between 2014 and 2025, with the most recent inspections in June 2025 and 2024 showing compliance, despite a 311 complaint about rodent-attracting conditions in September 2024 that resulted in a minor violation. The only recent complaint to the Department of Buildings was from May 2023, though the inspector was unable to gain access to the property. While the building has passed various health and safety inspections, the open violations from October 2024 represent the current most significant concerns, particularly regarding fire safety and hallway obstructions.
