AI summary · updated June 2026

140-26 Franklin Avenue is a 6-story, 54-unit residential building constructed in 1999 and currently owned by Franklin Ave Realty Co, LLC. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues in recent months, with three documented complaints in early 2025 alone (February 8 and January 30) reporting problems affecting the entire building, though heat and hot water were reportedly restored during inspections. A carbon monoxide detector violation was issued in December 2024 for apartment 2B, though this was certified as corrected by February 2025. The building has also faced various maintenance issues over the past two years, including plumbing problems (toilet issues in January 2024), a water leak complaint, and multiple complaints regarding door/window conditions and intercom systems in 2023/2024 that could not be verified due to lack of access during inspections.

The property has recently received several active violations related to building management requirements, including failures to file required reports and display energy efficiency scores in 2023-2024. Historically, the building had a pest infestation issue in 2021 (roaches in apartment 2C) and various maintenance violations between 2020-2021 regarding door self-closing mechanisms, refuse accumulation, and lighting fixtures in common areas, though these were subsequently resolved. Importantly, the building has maintained a consistent record of zero bedbug infestations in recent years, with the most recent bedbug report (March 2025) showing no affected units for the 2023-2024 period, and a satisfactory rodent inspection result in April 2021. The property has also experienced periodic issues with emergency systems and building access, with multiple complaints being closed due to inability to gain access for inspection.
