44 Malcolm X Boulevard, Brooklyn, NY 11221
44 Malcolm X Boulevard is a 14-unit, 4-story Old Law Tenement building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Joel Baum. The building has experienced recurring issues with inspections access, particularly in 2023-2025, when HPD inspectors were unable to access units for complaints regarding an electric range, door issues, and power outages. The property has a history of maintenance violations requiring attention, including four consecutive years (2018-2021) receiving violations for failing to file annual bedbug reports, though the most recent 2025 report shows zero infested units.
Significant structural concerns were documented in 2019 regarding building stability, particularly with the exposure 4 wall, which prompted multiple Emergency violations and repair requirements. Recent years have shown persistent rodent activity, with inspections in 2024-2025 showing both passed and rat activity results, though there was recent compliance as of May 2025. The building's most pressing recent issues include a power outage in June 2025 and a door-related emergency in March 2025. Historical complaints reveal past concerns with heat/hot water systems, unsanitary conditions including pest problems, and appliance issues.
Building safety features received attention in 2018, with violations regarding egress routes and carbon monoxide detection equipment in apartment 3C. The property underwent facade repairs in 2019 following several violation orders, with work completed under permit #321910946. While bedbug and rat activity have been persistent issues, recent compliance inspections show some improvement. The exterior of the building requires ongoing maintenance, as evidenced by the 2024 ECB violation regarding stucco condition with a $1,250 penalty.
