409 Tompkins Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11216

The four-story, four-unit tenement building at 409 Tompkins Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Angela Hall and constructed in 1900, has experienced several concerning maintenance issues in recent years, particularly in 2025. Most notably, multiple emergency complaints were filed in June 2025 regarding heavy water leaks, radiator problems, and paint issues, with violations issued for at least some of these conditions. The building has a documented history of heating and hot water problems, with multiple complaints in January 2025, though some inspections were unable to gain access to verify the conditions.

Apartment 3A appears to be a recurrent source of maintenance issues, with open violations recorded in 2023 related to water leaks in the bathroom ceiling and missing lock on a closet door, as well as a mice infestation violation from October 2023. The building has undergone various repairs and inspections in recent years, with some violations being addressed and certified as corrected, including faucet repairs in apartment 4A in early 2025. There have been consistent efforts to monitor and address rodent issues, with most recent inspections in 2022 and 2024 passing, though a failure was noted in March 2019.

The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in any of the official filings from 2021 through 2025. While the building has undergone regular maintenance and inspections, the cluster of recent complaints regarding water and radiator issues in 2025 suggests potential ongoing infrastructure challenges, particularly affecting resident comfort. The property has also required various other maintenance actions, including repairs to fire retardant materials and various plumbing issues, as evidenced by the multiple service requests and violations spanning from 2023 through 2025.
