184 Malcolm X Boulevard, Brooklyn, NY 11221
184 Malcolm X Boulevard is a 4-story, 7-unit tenement building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Luis Taveras and constructed in 1931. The property has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water, particularly affecting the entire building, with multiple complaints filed in early 2025 (January 6, 21, and 22) that HPD was unable to inspect due to access issues. Additional concerns in 2025 include a power outage complaint that also could not be inspected.
The building has active violations regarding annual bedbug reporting requirements (2020-2024) and improper garbage/recycling storage as of August 2024. There are multiple open violations with the Department of Buildings regarding failure to file low-pressure inspections from 2018-2024, as well as a violation from 2020 for unpermitted HVAC installation with an $800 penalty. The building has a documented history of moisture-related issues, including water leaks in 2022 and visible mold in 2020, particularly in apartment 4B.
Several illegal conversion complaints have been filed between 2020-2024, though inspectors were unable to gain access on multiple occasions. There were also pests issues in 2022, with most recent rodent inspection in July 2024 showing compliance. The property has experienced various maintenance challenges over the years, including problems with garbage storage, heating systems, and the need for general repairs in multiple apartments (notably 2A, 3A, and 4B). While some issues have been resolved, the recurring nature of heat/hot water problems and multiple open violations suggest ongoing maintenance concerns.
