261 Tompkins Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11216
The 3-unit, 3-story building at 261 Tompkins Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Aradhana Sarin, has a mixed record of maintenance and inspections since its construction in 2004. Most notably, there have been recurring issues with rodent conditions, with several 311 complaints in 2022 leading to Health Department violations, though recent inspections in 2023-2025 have generally passed.
The building experienced significant maintenance challenges in early 2022, with multiple complaints regarding heat/hot water issues and unsanitary conditions including pests and mold recorded between January and February 2022. While the Housing Preservation and Development Department conducted inspections for these complaints, no violations were issued, though there were multiple instances where inspectors couldn't gain access to apartments.
The property has maintained a clean bedbug report history, with no infested units reported in the past several years, including the most recent filings from 2024 which showed zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units. Building-wide violations from 2019 related to improper postings of safety information in the public hall were resolved, and more recent inspections in 2023-2025 have generally shown compliance with rodent control requirements, though there were periods of rat activity noted during 2022 inspections. The building's management has demonstrated responsiveness to some maintenance issues, as evidenced by the relatively prompt closing of most complaints, though several required follow-up inspections due to access issues.
