Augrented Insights Report for 420 Tompkins Avenue

The property at 420 Tompkins Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Abraham Karpen, is a 6-story, 44-unit residential building constructed in 2015. The building has experienced recurring issues with window safety, pest problems, and maintenance violations since its completion.

Most recently, in January 2025, there were multiple emergency complaints regarding window guard safety, unsanitary conditions including pests and mold, though not all inspections resulted in violations. The building has undergone several rodent inspections in recent years, with mixed results showing both passed inspections and evidence of rat activity in January and December 2024. During its construction in 2019, the building received multiple safety violations related to inadequate guardrails, safety equipment, and construction fence maintenance, though these were subsequently resolved.

The property has active violations regarding energy efficiency reporting requirements that remain unresolved since 2021. Despite these ongoing maintenance issues, the building's bedbug reporting history shows no infestations reported between 2019 and 2025, indicating effective pest control management in this area. HPD violations and complaints have primarily focused on maintenance and safety concerns rather than structural issues or major building systems, and while there have been numerous 311 service requests over the years, many have been resolved through inspections and corrective actions.
