406 Tompkins Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11216

The four-story, five-unit tenement building at 406 Tompkins Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Sean Sedaghatpour and constructed in 1910, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety events over the past decade. Most recently, there has been a pattern of housing maintenance code violations related to bedbug reporting compliance, with violations identified in three consecutive years from 2021 to 2023, though current records indicate no infested units and successful bedbug report filings through 2024.

The building has undergone regular rodent inspections, with the most recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 showing passing results, though there were incidents of rat activity in 2021, prompting bait applications and subsequent compliance checks. The most substantial cluster of violations occurred in July 2015, primarily affecting the 4th floor apartment (4F), where multiple safety and maintenance issues were identified including problems with plaster surfaces, ceiling fixtures, door self-closing mechanisms, and the need for proper smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.

These violations were subsequently certified as corrected in October 2021, indicating successful remediation of these historical maintenance concerns. The building has shown consistent improvement in recent years, with regular safety inspections and no recurring infestation issues, though the property had notable maintenance challenges in its earlier years which now appear to be resolved.
