40 Malcolm X Boulevard, Brooklyn, NY 11221
40 Malcolm X Boulevard is a 4-unit, 4-story old law tenement building constructed in 1931, currently owned by Malcolm X One LLC. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past several years, with the most recent complaints in 2025 regarding door and plumbing issues that inspectors were unable to access for examination. A significant cluster of complaints and violations occurred in May 2023, including issues with electrical wiring, unsanitary conditions (pests and mold), and plumbing problems, though most of these were investigated without resulting violations.
The building has documented safety concerns, with structural issues noted in 2019 regarding the facade, including bulging stucco and deteriorated masonry, leading to ECB violations and fines. The property has had recurring issues with safety equipment, particularly in 2022-2023, when multiple apartments were cited for defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. Rodent problems have been notable, with a mix of passed inspections and reports of activity between 2021 and 2022.
While recent bedbug filings from 2022 to 2024 show zero infestation cases, the building has experienced various maintenance challenges, including multiple emergency service requests and violations related to building systems and health concerns. The most recent structural concern was documented in 2023, with an Oath violation served regarding building stability, and there is an active building violation regarding encumbrances in the first-story public hall as of May 2023. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of recurring issues that generally receive closure through inspections, but some problems, particularly regarding safety equipment, have persisted or been recurring across multiple units.
