451 Franklin Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11238
451 Franklin Avenue is a four-story, three-unit residential building in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Zal Pollack and completed in 2006. The building has experienced some maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most recent being a heat/hot water complaint in June 2025, which was resolved within two days. A significant cluster of rodent-related complaints occurred in late 2021, with four separate reports between November 5-7, and while these complaints did not result in any violations, they indicate a period of concern regarding pest control.
The property has maintained a generally good track record in recent years regarding bedbug management, with no reported infestations in the most recent five annual filings (2019-2025). The building has undergone several housing maintenance inspections, with particular attention paid to safety compliance during a thorough inspection on November 20, 2021, which identified multiple citations related to building safety requirements. These included issues with notice posting for carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, emergency procedures, and building registration information.
However, all these violations were subsequently resolved and closed. More recent inspections in 2023-2024 have focused on rodent control, with all but two inspections showing passed results, though there were instances of rat activity noted in October 2022 and October 2023. The building's most recent bedbug report from May 2025 shows a clean record for the period from November 2023 to October 2024, with no units affected by infestation, eradication, or re-infestation.
