221 Franklin Street, Brooklyn, NY 11222

The four-story, eight-unit tenement building at 221 Franklin Street in Greenpoint, owned by Manjula Mukhopadhyay and constructed in 1928, has experienced several notable maintenance issues over recent years. The most significant problems occurred during the winter of 2020-2021, when the building faced heating and hot water outages.

Two separate incidents were recorded - a 311 service request on December 27, 2020, and an emergency Housing Maintenance Code complaint on December 27, 2021 - though in both instances, tenants reported that services were restored shortly after the complaints were filed. More recently, in February 2022, there was a complaint about work being done without a permit in the occupied multiple dwelling, though this was resolved with no violations found upon inspection the same day.

Additionally, a fire escape violation was recorded in December 2020, citing a defective gusset plate at the third-story balcony of the north fire escape, though this was certified as closed on December 20, 2023. The building has maintained an impressive record regarding pest management, with multiple bedbug reports (covering the period from 2018 to 2025) showing consistently zero infested units, including the most recent reports filed in 2023-2024 and 2024-2025. The property appears to be under active management, with violations being addressed as they arise, though the recurring heating issues from 2020-2021 remain a notable historical concern.
