465 Franklin Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11238

The three-unit residential building at 465 Franklin Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Martha Davis and constructed in 1931, has experienced persistent pest management issues over the past several years. Most notably, there is an ongoing series of violations related to bedbug reporting requirements, with open Class A violations recorded in April 2024, March 2023, February 2022, and April 2021, indicating the building's failure to comply with the Housing Maintenance Code's annual bedbug report filing requirements.

These violations, while administrative in nature, suggest potential challenges in the building's overall pest management practices. Additionally, the property has faced significant rodent control challenges, particularly between late 2023 and 2025.

There were multiple documented instances of rat activity, with notable patterns of infestation in October and November 2023, April 2024, and most recently in April 2025, where an initial inspection revealed rat activity. However, there have also been several successful compliance inspections where the building passed rodent inspections, most recently in May 2025, indicating some efforts toward addressing the rodent situation. The building's rodent management history shows a mix of bait application (as recorded in December 2023) and repeated initial inspections documenting activity, suggesting ongoing challenges with maintaining a consistent pest-free environment.
