150 Tompkins Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11206

Situated in Bedford-Stuyvesant, 150 Tompkins Avenue is a 5-story, 20-unit residential building constructed in 1931 and currently owned by 27 Bed Stuy LLC. The building has experienced recurring maintenance challenges, particularly in recent months, with multiple complaints regarding electrical issues (including lighting problems), unsanitary conditions (pest infestations), and heat/hot water systems. Notable recent issues include two heat/hot water complaints marked as "immediate emergency" in June 2025, multiple pest-related complaints in early 2025, and electrical issues resulting in violations in April 2025.

The building has an active environmental violation related to building walls issued in August 2024, with documented issues including cracks, peeling paint, and missing mortar at various locations. Additionally, the property has a concerning history of rat activity, with multiple inspections throughout 2024 and 2025 showing consistent rodent presence despite some "passed" inspections. The building's maintenance history reveals persistent problems with its boiler system, evidenced by multiple violations and complaints between 2019 and 2022, including findings of a defective/inoperative boiler and unregistered equipment, though some of these violations have since been resolved.

Apartment 4C, in particular, has been the focus of numerous violations, including pest infestations (mice and roaches), defective doors, and issues with plaster surfaces and intercom systems as of October 2024. The building's recent service requests and violations indicate ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly regarding basic utilities and pest control, though some earlier issues (such as the 2020-2022 boiler concerns) appear to have been addressed. While the property has shown some compliance with certain inspections, the frequency of recent complaints suggests ongoing difficulties with maintenance and resident services.
