288 Sumpter Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233
288 Sumpter Street is a 4-story, 4-unit New Law Tenement building in Bedford-Stuyvesant, constructed in 1912 and currently owned by Alberto Farin. The building has experienced several notable issues over recent years, with the most recent concern being an open Department of Health complaint regarding beekeeping activity as of February 2025.
A cluster of safety-related incidents in September 2018 raised significant concerns, including violations for missing carbon monoxide and smoke detectors, though these were later addressed through required corrections. Other 2018 incidents included plumbing issues, electrical problems with lighting, and various maintenance code violations which were subsequently resolved, including the installation of necessary safety signage and notifications in common areas. The building has demonstrated some recurring compliance challenges, particularly evidenced by multiple HPD inspection citations between 2018-2024 related to bedbug reporting requirements, though a 2023 filing indicated no current infestation issues.
A specific window guard violation was identified and required correction in 2018 for an apartment on the 3rd floor. While most historical violations have been closed, the outstanding bee-related complaint from 2025 marks the building's most recent maintenance issue. The property has undergone various inspections and corrections since its 2018 safety incident cluster, suggesting a pattern of addressing violations, though the persistent bedbug reporting compliance requirement has been an ongoing administrative concern.
