Augrented Insights Report for 473 Tompkins Avenue

The four-story, three-unit tenement building at 473 Tompkins Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Abraham Betesh and constructed in 1872, has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues throughout 2024. There were multiple emergency complaints filed between February and August 2024 regarding inadequate heat and hot water, with at least one verified violation in August 2024 affecting 4th floor Apartment 4.

The building is currently facing several open violations as of August 2024, including encumbered fire escapes, bicycles obstructing hallways, and various door-related issues at public entrances in the 1st and 4th stories. Additional concerns include active DOB violations from 2023 regarding external low-pressure inspection filings, and a significant ECB violation from 2021 related to improper occupancy of the first floor, which had an associated fine of $1,250.

The building has a documented history of various maintenance issues, including multiple complaints regarding unsanitary conditions involving mold in late 2021 and early 2022, electrical lighting problems, and door/window issues in 2022. While the property has consistently passed rodent inspections in 2018, 2022, and 2024, and no bedbug infestations have been reported in the past four years (2021-2025), the ongoing heat/water problems and multiple open violations suggest persistent maintenance challenges. The building's owners have faced penalties for failure to file required boiler and low-pressure inspection reports in recent years, indicating possible regulatory compliance issues.
