54 Tompkins Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11206
The 3-story, 8-unit Old Law Tenement building at 54 Tompkins Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Michael Ortiz and built in 1931, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. The property has recurring violations related to bedbug reporting compliance, with open violations documented in 2024, 2023, 2022, and 2021, indicating ongoing non-compliance with HPD requirements for annual bedbug reporting.
Heating and hot water system issues were reported in late 2022, affecting the entire building, though inspections were unable to gain access for verification. More recent concerns include multiple active violations related to external low-pressure inspection filing requirements, dating back to 2018 through 2023, and a currently active ECB violation from September 2023 for unpermitted electrical work with an $8,000 penalty. The building has undergone several pest control interventions for rat activity, with inspections in 2024 and 2023 showing evidence of rodent presence, though some inspections resulted in "Passed" outcomes.
A pattern of heating system complaints and rodent issues suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The property has also faced multiple violations for failure to file required inspections, particularly regarding the external low-pressure systems and boiler inspections, indicating potential safety and regulatory compliance concerns. The most recent rodent inspection in April 2025 showed compliance, though this is preceded by several inspections showing rat activity and bait application in 2024 and 2023.
