365 Tompkins Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11216

The 5-story, 6-unit building at 365 Tompkins Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Eric Orlofsky, has experienced several significant maintenance and pest control issues since 2018. Most notably, there is an ongoing Department of Health complaint regarding indoor air quality and chemical vapors that was initiated in March 2022 and remains unresolved as of 2025.

The building has a documented history of rodent infestation between 2018 and 2022, with multiple inspections showing rat activity, though the most recent inspection in June 2024 passed with no issues. The property was found to have an Housing Maintenance Code violation in 2021 related to the failure to file an annual bedbug report, though subsequent filings from 2021 through December 2024 indicate no bedbug infestations occurred during any reporting period, with consistently showing zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units.

The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of pest control interventions, particularly between late 2022 and early 2023, where multiple bait applications were recorded, suggesting an active approach to addressing rodent issues at that time. While the most recent rodent inspections have indicated no activity, the building's past challenges with both rodent control and bedbug reporting compliance, combined with the unresolved air quality complaint, suggest ongoing attention to maintenance issues may be required. It is worth noting that despite the various violations and pest issues documented over the years, the building has consistently maintained accurate bedbug reporting with no recorded infestations since the violation notice was issued.
