421 Tompkins Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11216
The three-story, two-unit building at 421 Tompkins Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Daniel Clark, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years, particularly concerning heat and rodent problems. Most recently, in December 2024, there were complaints about heat and hot water issues in the building, though inspection access was not granted, and the complaint was closed without resolution. The building has had persistent problems with rat activity, with inspections in both June and July 2024 confirming the presence of rats.
Earlier rodent issues were documented in 2019, when multiple bait applications were required, and a December 2019 inspection noted rat activity. The building has also faced regulatory challenges, with an open Housing Maintenance Code violation as of April 2024 regarding the failure to file an annual bedbug report, marking a departure from the typically clean record shown in previous years between 2019-2023, when all reports indicated no infested units. In 2019, there was a construction-related complaint that resulted in a stop work order, though this was fully rescinded.
Permit records from 2018-2019 show multiple issued permits for various types of work, including plumbing and alteration work, suggesting ongoing maintenance and improvements to the century-old structure. The property has maintained a generally low incidence of pest problems in recent years, as evidenced by the bedbug reports from 2019-2023 showing zero infested or re-infested units. However, the building's recent history of heat/hot water issues and current rodent problems are notable concerns, particularly given the age of the building and its three-story configuration. The persistent rat activity, particularly documented in 2019 and recent 2024 inspections, suggests ongoing challenges with building maintenance and pest control.
