The 12-unit, 4-story old law tenement building at 109 Franklin Street in Greenpoint, built in 1930 and currently owned by Yi Lam, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing concerns centered around heating and hot water systems. Between November 2023 and October 2022, there were multiple complaints regarding heat and hot water problems affecting the entire building and individual apartments, with at least one violation issued in November 2023 concerning inadequate heat supply to apartment 4L.
The building has also faced infrastructure challenges, including a slow water leak (October 2022), various maintenance issues documented in October 2022 (paint/plaster, door/window, electrical lighting), and multiple housing maintenance code violations that remain open as of 2025, including access issues to the heating system and bedbug reporting requirements. The property has undergone several inspections and service requests related to pest control, with bedbug reports consistently showing no infestation between 2019 and 2024. Recent rodent activity has been documented in March-April 2025, with multiple bait applications recorded.
An assessment of the building's historical complaints shows a pattern of heating system access issues and maintenance requirements, with the most recent bedbug report (April 2024) showing no infested units. The Department of Buildings conducted inspections in 2019 for tenant safety and illegal conversion concerns, finding no significant violations. While the building has a history of various maintenance issues, including a notable concentration of complaints in October 2022 and recurring heating system problems, recent inspections indicate some improvements, though several violations remain open as of 2025.
