131 Tompkins Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11206
The 6-unit, 4-story building at 131 Tompkins Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Joel Weiss, has demonstrated persistent maintenance challenges since its 1910 construction. Recent incidents from May 2025 include multiple complaints regarding unsanitary conditions related to pests and garbage storage, as well as issues with cooking gas and heat/hot water systems. Notably, there are two open violation notices from November 2023 regarding the building's failure to meet several safety signage requirements, including smoke detector requirements, carbon monoxide detector requirements, and building registration information.
A concerning pattern of heat/hot water issues is evident, with three such complaints filed and responded to between 2025 and 2023, though inspections did not reveal violations in some cases. The building has faced ongoing rodent infestation challenges, with multiple rodent activity reports between 2024 and 2025, despite bait application efforts by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. Additional violations were recorded in 2020 related to water leaks, flooring issues, and pest problems.
The property's bedbug history appears relatively minimal, with no infested units reported in the last three annual reports (2020-2022). While some recent complaints were resolved without violations being issued, the frequency of service requests and inspections relating to basic amenities such as heat, water, and pest control suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The building currently has multiple open violations related to safety signage and systems documentation that require attention.
