295 Tompkins Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11216

295 Tompkins Avenue is a 4-story, 2-family residential building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Michael Lefkowtiz and constructed in 2004. The building's most significant issues occurred in mid-2020, when multiple emergency complaints were filed regarding electrical wiring and staircase conditions.

Notably, the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) was unable to gain access for inspections in August 2020 following complaints made in June and July of that year, though these complaints were eventually marked as closed. The building underwent two inspections in 2022 regarding a fence and possible illegal conversion, but inspectors reported no violations due to lack of access during both visits.

More recently, the property has demonstrated good pest control management, with regular bedbug reports from 2021 through 2024 showing zero infestations or related issues in any dwelling unit. The building has also maintained a clean record regarding rodent control, passing inspections in June 2024, September 2022, and April 2015. The absence of any new complaints or violations in recent years, combined with passing pest and rodent inspections, suggests improved maintenance stability since the 2020 issues, though it's worth noting that HPD inspections in 2020 were not conducted due to access issues rather than the absence of concerns.
