Augrented Insights Report for 138-15 Franklin Avenue

The 138-15 Franklin Avenue building in Flushing, a 6-story, 194-unit Class A residential building built in 1964, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over the past few years. Most notably, there have been multiple water-related complaints throughout 2024, including incidents of damp spots, slow leaks, and heavy flow situations, with the most recent complaints filed in July 2024. The building has also faced recurring heat and hot water system problems, with multiple emergency complaints reported between 2022 and 2024, though records indicate that systems were typically restored quickly.

Significant infrastructure concerns have emerged regarding the building's façade and balcony systems, with active violations as of 2025 indicating hazardous conditions including deteriorating mortar joints and loose metal angles on balcony slabs affecting both southern and northern elevator banks, leading to a partial vacate order. The building's elevator system has had documented issues, particularly in 2021 and 2019, with multiple violations related to inoperative phone systems and worn components, though these were eventually resolved. More recent inspections in 2025 revealed additional issues requiring attention, including multiple open violation notices regarding defective self-closing doors and hinges in various locations throughout the building.

The property is currently facing financial penalties related to façade inspection compliance, with active ECB violations from 2021-2024 totaling $10,000. However, it's worth noting that the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with zero reported occurrences in the past six years of monitoring from 2019 to 2024. The building's management has demonstrated compliance with basic maintenance requirements, responding to service requests and coordinating inspections through the Department of Housing Preservation and Development, though the pattern of recurring water and heat-related issues suggests ongoing infrastructure challenges.
