Questions about this building

Does 189 Franklin Avenue, Brooklyn have open violations?

Yes. 189 Franklin Avenue, Brooklyn had 1 open violation on October 10, 2026: 1 from OATH/ECB. None is Class C, the class HPD treats as immediately hazardous. The oldest open HPD violation has been open 2 years, since May 9, 2024.

When were certifications filed on Class C violations at 189 Franklin Avenue, Brooklyn?

Since October 12, 2023, certifications were filed on 2 Class C violations, all 2 by the original certify-by date. A certification is the filing, dated when it was made, not HPD's acceptance of it. It is compared with the original certify-by date on the notice. A granted postponement moves that date and the city's data keeps only the first, so a certification counted after it may still have met a postponed date.

Does 189 Franklin Avenue, Brooklyn have an OATH hearing coming up?

Yes. A hearing on a DOB summons is set for March 15, 2027. DOB summonses are heard at OATH, the city's hearings office, and OATH can move a hearing to a later date. When nobody shows up, the summons is decided by default, the costliest way one ends.

Does 189 Franklin Avenue, Brooklyn have active DOB violations?

Yes. 89 active DOB violations, most of them for low-pressure boilers. The newest was issued November 14, 2025. The Department of Buildings writes these separately from HPD's housing violations, for things like boilers, elevators, facades, construction and energy filings. Each one stays active until DOB resolves or dismisses it.

What did the latest facade report find at 189 Franklin Avenue, Brooklyn?

No Report Filed for inspection cycle 9. Buildings taller than six stories must have their exterior walls inspected once in every inspection cycle under the city's Facade Inspection Safety Program (every five years under DOB's current rule), and each inspection report is filed with DOB as Safe, SWARMP (safe with a repair and maintenance program) or Unsafe. No Report Filed means DOB has no report for that cycle. The rating is from the latest filing and does not describe the facade today; DOB's page for the building shows anything filed since.

When did 189 Franklin Avenue, Brooklyn last file its bedbug report?

On December 9, 2025, for the year to October 31, 2025. HPD asks the owner of every building with 3 or more apartments for this report once a year, covering November 1 to October 31, including buildings that had no bedbugs.

When was 189 Franklin Avenue, Brooklyn built?

The city's record gives 2006 as the year 189 Franklin Avenue, Brooklyn was built, in the Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file. The same file classes it as a condominium with 8 floors.

How many apartments does 189 Franklin Avenue, Brooklyn have?

The Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file lists 16 residential units at 189 Franklin Avenue, Brooklyn. The count is for the whole tax lot.

Where do these numbers come from?

From New York City's own data: HPD housing violations and OATH/ECB hearing results, read whole rather than sampled. It also draws on OATH hearing dates, OATH/ECB summonses from DOB and FDNY, DOB violations, DOB facade filings, HPD's annual bedbug reports and the city's PLUTO tax-lot file. This page is current through October 10, 2026. The city's data changes daily, so a violation certified after that can still show as open here; the city's own page for this building is linked above.

Sources. HPD housing violations and OATH/ECB hearing results, plus OATH hearing dates, OATH/ECB summonses from DOB and FDNY, DOB violations, DOB facade filings, HPD's annual bedbug reports and the city's PLUTO tax-lot file. Counts cover HPD Class B and C violations from the last 3 years that HPD still shows open, and OATH/ECB summonses from the same 3 years that the city still shows active. The city's own pages can show more, never fewer.
