608 Franklin Avenue
Composite verdict
HPD violation data is not available for 608 Franklin Avenue — the building has no HPD registration on file, which is not uncommon for newer condo construction (built 2015). Without that data, the landlord's maintenance track record cannot be assessed through public records. What the data does show: 84 HEAT/HOT WATER complaints in the surrounding 311 data are a notable red flag worth probing directly, noise is flagged as very high (104 complaints in 12 months, graded F, predominantly residential and street/sidewalk), and 3 burglaries were recorded within 150 meters in the past 12 months out of 9 total incidents. No bedbug infestations have been filed in the past 3 years, and the rent stabilization data confirms 0 stabilized units — all 6 tracked units appear to have been deregulated since 2007.

- 311 data shows 84 HEAT/HOT WATER complaints in the surrounding area — has this building had any heat or hot water outages, and how are those issues handled when they arise?
- Noise data shows 104 complaints in the past 12 months with a 'very high' designation — 48 residential and 34 street/sidewalk — what soundproofing exists between units and facing the street, and have tenants complained about noise?

- HPD registration data is not on file for this building — can you provide documentation of the building's maintenance history, any open violations, and the certificate of occupancy?

- The building was built in 2015 and is classified as a condo with 121 units across 8 floors — who manages day-to-day operations and repairs, and is there an on-site super or a management company tenants contact directly?
- Test the building's entry points — front door lock, intercom, and any key fob or buzzer system — given 3 burglaries recorded within 150 meters; also check whether hallways and the lobby have visible security cameras.
- Walk the hallways and stairwells on multiple floors to assess soundproofing quality and listen for noise bleed between units, given the F-grade noise rating with 48 residential complaints in the past 12 months.
