220 Franklin Street, Brooklyn, NY 11222
220 Franklin Street is a 4-story, 8-unit residential building in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, constructed in 1928 and currently owned by Steven Kashanian. The building has experienced persistent maintenance issues throughout 2025, with multiple complaints regarding door problems, water leaks, and intercom system malfunctions. Of particular concern are several open violations from a November 2024 inspection in apartment 2R, including issues with the kitchen floor, doorbell system, radiator air valve, electrical outlet, and peeling paint in the bathroom.
Additionally, there are active ECB violations related to gas piping installations from 2023 that required correction, as well as multiple open DOB violations regarding failure to certify corrections on hazardous violations dating back to 2019-2020. The building has a history of maintenance challenges, including a heat/hot water complaint in January 2025 that could not be inspected due to lack of access. Earlier records from 2023 show multiple complaints about illegal conversions and safety systems, including fire escape problems.
The property has generally maintained good pest control standards, with no bedbug infestations reported in the past five years, though there were some rodent inspection failures noted between 2017-2019. While recent HPD inspections have often found no housing law violations, the frequency and number of complaints suggest ongoing maintenance and access issues. The building's history of multiple violations for failure to comply with correction orders between 2020-2024, particularly regarding lead paint and various building systems, indicates some challenges in maintaining full regulatory compliance.
