Augrented Insights Report for 214 Franklin Street

The 13-unit, 3-story residential building at 214 Franklin Street in Greenpoint, owned by Joseph Torres and constructed in 1931, has experienced several notable maintenance and compliance issues over recent years. Most recently, in 2025, there were unresolved complaints regarding water leaks and ceiling plaster damage, with HPD unable to gain access to inspect the issues. The building has open violations related to annual bedbug reporting requirements for 2021 through 2024.

In 2021, the elevator system required multiple repairs to address heavy noise and vibrations, water accumulation in the pit, and other maintenance issues, resulting in penalties totaling $7,494, though these were resolved by 2024. The property has experienced various health and safety-related incidents, including a drinking water complaint in 2023 that was investigated with no violations found, and a rodent sighting in 2022 that also passed inspection. Historical records show systematic rodent inspections conducted between 2018-2019 all passed.

There were multiple complaints in 2021 regarding potential illegal hotel operations, after-hours work, and various safety concerns, though inspections did not warrant violations in most cases. The building's management has received citations for not maintaining proper documentation and violations related to energy efficiency requirements, though some were later dismissed. The Department of Buildings has issued several permits for maintenance and repair work, with the most recent in 2020 covering general alterations.
