250 Tompkins Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11216

The four-unit, four-story residential building at 250 Tompkins Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Felix Boyd, has been subject to recurring regulatory scrutiny over the past several years. The property, constructed in 1931, is classified as an Old Law Tenement and has been consistently cited for failing to file required annual bedbug reports between 2021 and 2024, with four open violations noted under the Housing Maintenance Code for this non-compliance.

While rodent inspections have shown fluctuating results, with the most recent inspections in 2025 and 2024 showing compliance (passed) status, there have been several instances of rat activity, particularly in 2024 and 2022. The building's inspection history reveals a pattern of pest-related challenges, with three separate rat activity findings recorded between May 2022 and May 2024, though these have been interspersed with successful compliance inspections.

In terms of other building issues, a complaint regarding illegal commercial use of the property was filed in 2019, but this was investigated and closed in August 2019 with no violations warranting action at the time of inspection. The property appears to have maintained some baseline compliance with various inspections, as evidenced by the passing grades in multiple rodent inspections, though the persistent bedbug report violations and sporadic rodent activity suggest ongoing challenges with building maintenance and pest control compliance. The most recent positive development is the passing rodent inspection in May 2025, indicating some improvement in this area, though the open bedbug report violations remain a notable concern in the building's regulatory history.
