437 Tompkins Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11216
The three-story, nine-unit apartment building at 437 Tompkins Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, built in 1910 and currently owned by Jeff King, has experienced recurring heating system issues. Between January and February 2025, there were three separate complaints about lack of heat or hot water affecting the entire building, two of which resulted in failed inspections due to lack of access, though one inspection found no housing law violations.
A similar pattern occurred in 2022, with multiple heating-related complaints, including one in March that was investigated but found no violations as heat was not required at the time of inspection. The building's safety infrastructure has been a concern, with several violations documented in 2022 regarding fire escape access and egress paths, including a defective iron ladder leading to the roof and obstructed fire escape paths, though these violations were subsequently closed.
The property has maintained active compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, showing zero infested units across multiple reporting periods from 2020-2025. A rodent inspection conducted in June 2024 resulted in a passing grade, following previous rat activity findings in late 2022. The building currently has an open violation from June 2023 regarding failure to file a required external low-pressure inspection from 2018, which remains active as of the latest available data.
