186 Malcolm X Boulevard, Brooklyn, NY 11221
186 Malcolm X Boulevard is a 4-story, 9-unit residential building constructed in 1931 in Bedford-Stuyvesant, currently owned by John Warren. The building has experienced recurring rodent issues, with three confirmed complaints in the past year (2024-2025), including a recent November 2024 health department inspection that found violations requiring follow-up inspections. The property has a notable history of unsanitary conditions, particularly related to pests, with several HPD complaints since 2022 that inspectors were unable to access.
Multiple violations have been recorded, including a Class C violation in 2023 regarding mouse infestation in Apartment 1A, and an open violation from 2022 concerning cockroach and mouse infestations in Apartment 3A. Other maintenance issues documented include plumbing problems, electrical lighting concerns, and various general maintenance matters across multiple apartments. The building has undergone several inspections related to building safety, including a 2024 inspection regarding building vibration that found no violations, and a 2021 complaint about work without a permit that was also dismissed.
Two significant violations regarding inspection filings (one active from 2023 and one dismissed from 2019) were recorded concerning external low pressure and boiler inspections, with the 2019 violation involving a $1,000 penalty payment. Recent rodent inspections in 2024 and 2025 have indicated ongoing pest management challenges, though there have been no reported bedbug infestations since 2021. The building has shown some improvements in maintenance compliance, with several permits issued for various works between 2021 and 2023, though many complaints have resulted in closed status without inspection access or violations.
