172 Tompkins Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11206

172 Tompkins Avenue is a three-story, two-family residential building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn. Built in 1931 and currently owned by Deryck Thompson, this property has experienced several significant events over the past five years.

The most critical incident occurred in November 2020, when both heat and hot water were reported as being unavailable throughout the entire building, triggering emergency housing maintenance code violations. While these utilities were reportedly restored within a week of the complaint, the building also received a citation in November 2020 for having an illegally installed double-cylinder key-operated lock at the street entrance door. This violation was certified for correction in January 2021 and represents a potential security concern.

The building's pest control history shows a fluctuating pattern, with six consecutive inspections from 2021 through 2025 passing without issues. However, there was one instance of "Rat Activity" recorded in May 2023, marking the only significant pest-related concern during this period. Since May 2023, the property has consistently passed all rodent inspections, including the most recent inspection in April 2025, indicating successful pest management efforts in the years following the rat activity report.
