2604 Franklin Ave cited for property maintenance code violations

A property maintenance citation was issued for the vacant structure at 2604 Franklin Ave after inspectors documented a long list of safety and health problems — from overgrown weeds, rubbish and graffiti to roof and porch deterioration, a dead tree and pest infestation, plus plumbing and hot-water deficiencies, missing smoke detectors, and makeshift electrical wiring and exterior lighting/outlet issues. The case (opened 8/19/2026) is marked No Compliance/No Entry and carries a $400 citation; the owner is responsible for correcting the hazards, restoring surfaces and bringing electrical, plumbing, egress and fire-safety systems up to code.
