282 Tompkins Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11216

The 3-story, 5-unit tenement building at 282 Tompkins Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Ludell Jackson, has a significant number of open violations as of June 2024 that warrant attention. The building, constructed in 1931, has multiple safety and maintenance issues documented in a recent HPD inspection from June 2024, including problems with fire safety systems such as a defective fire door leading to the west yard, missing or defective self-closing door hinges, and concerns with fire-retardant materials in the 3rd story public hall.

The building also has several open violations related to necessary notifications and postings, including missing gas leak procedures, smoke detector requirements, and carbon monoxide detector requirements. Additional issues involve painting requirements for various public hall areas and the presence of construction materials that need to be removed from the 1st and 2nd story public halls. The property has recent 311 service requests from March 2024 regarding unsanitary conditions related to garbage/recycling storage and door issues, though these complaints were closed without violations being issued.

A rodent inspection in July 2025 passed, which is an improvement compared to failed inspections in early 2010. The building class is designated as an OLD LAW TENEMENT, which typically requires adherence to specific maintenance and safety standards. While some older violations have been addressed, the current open violations indicate ongoing maintenance and safety requirements that still need to be resolved.
