239 Tompkins Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11216
The three-story, three-unit residential building at 239 Tompkins Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Mordechai Retek, has experienced multiple maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, in June 2025, there were multiple complaints regarding unsanitary conditions including pests and mold, some of which HPD inspectors were unable to fully investigate. In 2024, several complaints about various issues including an electric/gas range, window frame, and flooring were similarly not fully inspected by HPD.
The property has also faced consistent pest-related challenges, with multiple 311 complaints about unsanitary conditions due to pests recorded between 2023 and 2025, though some of these inspections found no violations. The building underwent an inspection in August 2023 that revealed several violations requiring attention, including issues with door self-closing mechanisms, carbon monoxide detectors, and the presence of mold in Apartment C. Additional violations were documented regarding encumbrances in public areas and gas leak procedure notifications.
While the building has maintained a relatively clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with zero reported cases in the last three annual filings between 2022-2024, rodent inspections have shown variable results. In July 2025, the building passed a rodent inspection, but prior inspections in 2024 indicated rat activity, suggesting ongoing challenges with vermin control. The most recent complaint about alleged illegal conversion from May 2025 was investigated in June 2025, but no violations were found at the time of inspection.
