Augrented Insights Report for 344 Franklin Avenue

344 Franklin Avenue is a three-story, two-family residential building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, built in 1930 and currently owned by Shirley Henegan. The property has experienced numerous maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing concerns occurring in May 2025, when multiple complaints were filed regarding heat/hot water problems and plumbing issues affecting the entire building. During this period, there were also problems with doors and windows, particularly door frames, though HPD inspectors were frequently unable to gain access to complete necessary inspections.

The building has outstanding violations from a June 2024 inspection, including concerns about inadequate lighting, a non-stationary scuttle ladder, mold in public hall areas, and various electrical issues in the third-story public hall. The property has a history of electrical and safety concerns, with multiple Department of Buildings (DOB) complaints between 2022-2025, including active ECB violations related to exposed wires, an illegal/incorrect exhaust system, and unauthorized construction of an enclosed block extension. In addition, the building has experienced recurring rodent activity, with the most recent inspections in 2025 showing active infestation, though previous inspections in 2023-2024 had passed.

The owner's compliance with various housing maintenance codes has been under scrutiny, with multiple violations regarding mold remediation, electrical repairs, and lighting conditions noted through both DOB and HPD inspections. While some violations from 2018-2021 have been resolved, there are currently active ECB violations from 2023-2024 that require attention. The building's maintenance history indicates ongoing challenges with basic infrastructure systems, particularly regarding heating, plumbing, and electrical systems, as well as persistent issues with public area maintenance and pest control.
