482 Franklin Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11238

482 Franklin Avenue is an 8-story, 93-unit residential building constructed in 2012 and owned by Yosi Cohen, located in Bedford-Stuyvesant. The building has experienced several recurring safety and maintenance issues over the past few years, particularly related to fire safety systems, heating, and water supply. Most notably, there have been multiple smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector complaints in late 2024 and early 2025, with the most recent detector issue reported in April 2025.

The building underwent significant heating and hot water system complaints in February 2024, involving both the entire building and individual apartments. Water supply problems were also reported during this period. The elevator system has been a persistent concern, with three separate complaints about multiple devices between 2019 and 2023, including an Environmental Control Board violation in April 2022 regarding an out-of-service elevator creating hazardous conditions.

The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs, with zero reported infestations in annual filings from 2020 through 2024. Regular rodent inspections conducted between 2022 and 2025 have consistently passed, indicating the building is generally free of significant pest problems. While there have been various 311 service requests, most notably regarding door issues and garbage storage conditions, these have typically been resolved without major violations being imposed. The building's most recent housing maintenance and safety inspections indicate continued attention to fire safety systems, although access issues have occasionally complicated some inspections.
