387 Franklin Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11238
387 Franklin Avenue is a 6-story, 11-unit residential building in Bedford-Stuyvesant, constructed in 2009 and currently owned by Moses Karpen. The building has experienced several maintenance and safety issues over the years, with the most recent concerns centered around pest control.
Between June 28-29, 2025, five non-emergency complaints about unsanitary conditions related to pests were filed and subsequently closed. The building's rodent inspection history shows a pattern of monitoring, with regular inspections demonstrating generally successful compliance, though a failure was noted in October 2022 for "Other Reasons" and an August 2022 inspection revealed "Rat Activity." The property has faced various maintenance challenges, including a 2018 mold complaint (closed without inspection), a garbage/recycling storage issue (investigated but no violations found), and a missing signage problem. Several building-wide safety concerns were documented through Housing Maintenance Code Violations, including three violations in 2018 related to gas leak procedures and smoke detector requirements, though all were subsequently closed.
The building faced a significant infrastructure issue in 2022, receiving an Environmental Control Board violation for failure to maintain exterior walls, which resulted in a $1,250 penalty. As of 2025, the building's bedbug reporting history is notable for consistently showing zero infested units across multiple reporting periods since 2020-2021. The property has also experienced some inspection-related issues, with an open violation regarding a Category 5 Inspection failure from May 2019, and a 2022 FISP Cycle 9A Technical Report filing failure violation.
