Augrented Insights Report for 38 Malcolm X Boulevard

The four-story, six-unit residential building at 38 Malcolm X Boulevard in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Jack Zimmer and constructed in 1931, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there is an ongoing problem with water leaks, with at least three documented instances of heavy flow between 2023 and 2025, including an emergency complaint filed in May 2025 that resulted in violations being issued.

The building has also faced challenges with rodent activity, with multiple inspections and treatments occurring throughout 2024 and 2025 showing consistent rat presence. A significant electrical safety issue was identified in 2021, with an open Class C violation regarding inadequate electric service in apartment 1F, and past concerns were noted regarding unauthorized alterations including an illegal apartment conversion in 2020.

The property has demonstrated some efforts to maintain compliance with housing regulations, as evidenced by its bedbug reporting showing zero infested units in recent years (2021-2024), and by complying with various repair orders (although some past violations show as "Open" or "Partial" status). Historical records indicate ongoing maintenance challenges, including a period of multiple unsanitary conditions related to garbage/recycling storage in early 2023, and several safety-related violations in 2020 regarding fire retardant materials and gas leak procedures in the public areas. The building's permit history shows activity in 2019 for plumbing and electrical work, and recent inspections have consistently identified rat activity, with baiting efforts implemented throughout late 2024 and early 2025.
