271 Franklin Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11205

271 Franklin Avenue is a three-story, four-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, built in 1901 and currently owned by Ronald Prioleau. The building has experienced recurring administrative issues related to bedbug reporting compliance, with violations noted in 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024 for failing to file the required annual bedbug reports as per Housing Maintenance Code requirements.

However, the most recent bedbug report filed in July 2024 indicates a notable decrease in infestation issues, with two units previously infested and successfully eradicated, though there were no new infestations during the reporting period. The building has undergone regular rodent inspections with generally positive results.

Most inspections from 2020 through 2025 have passed, with the exception of a March 2024 inspection that indicated rat activity. The most recent rodent inspection in March 2025 resulted in a passing grade, suggesting that while there have been some pest control challenges, the building management has generally maintained compliance with pest management requirements. The property's recent bedbug reporting history shows improvement, with no reported infestations in multiple consecutive reporting periods, though it's worth noting that the building has maintained a pattern of late bedbug report filings over the past four years, with reports being submitted several months after their due dates.
