177 Malcolm X Boulevard, Brooklyn, NY 11221

The three-story, four-unit residential building at 177 Malcolm X Boulevard in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Tiffany Harrison, has been subject to several notable safety and maintenance issues over recent years. Most concerning is the pattern of missed bedbug reporting requirements, with open violations recorded in 2022, 2023, and 2024 for failure to file the annual bedbug report as mandated by the Housing Maintenance Code, indicating potential ongoing pest management oversight.

The building's recent history shows a mix of challenges and improvements. In early 2025, there was a complaint about falling debris that resulted in a sidewalk shed being required for safety purposes, though this violation was subsequently dismissed following compliance.

The property has demonstrated generally acceptable rodent control performance in recent inspections, with the most recent rat activity noted in 2019, and subsequent inspections passing in 2020, 2022, and 2024. However, there were multiple bait applications recorded in 2018, suggesting past difficulties with rodent management that appear to have been addressed through these interventions. While some infrastructure improvements have been made, including the installation of the sidewalk shed in 2025, the recurring bedbug report violations stand out as the most significant ongoing concern from a resident comfort and safety perspective.
