145 Franklin Street, Brooklyn, NY 11222

145 Franklin Street is a 4-story, 7-unit residential building in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, constructed in 1928 and currently owned by Jimmy Almonte. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with emergency complaints registered in February 2023 and August 2021, though inspectors were unable to access the premises to verify the conditions. Recent inspections from 2022 through 2024 have revealed an ongoing requirement for the building to file annual bedbug reports under Housing Maintenance Code (HMC) regulations, representing active Class A violations as of October 2023.

The building has also undergone several Local Law 188/17 compliance inspections, with the most recent completed in December 2024 showing no enforcement action required. Additional concerns have included a rodent and pest incident in 2018 that prompted Health Department warning letters, though a subsequent rodent inspection in May 2023 resulted in a passing grade. The property received an Environmental Control Board (ECB) violation in 2023 related to inadequate housekeeping in a commercial space, which was resolved with a $2,500 penalty.

Notable for tenant safety, there was an inspection in May 2023 that resulted in an "Oath Violation Served." Multiple complaints about unauthorized work in the building were filed in March 2023, though inspections found no violations at that time. A pigeon waste complaint in April 2023 was investigated by the Health Department but resulted in no violations. While the building has passed several recent inspections, the persistent issues with bedbug report compliance and heat/hot water access remain the most significant ongoing concerns, warranting attention to the building's maintenance patterns over time.
