179 Malcolm X Boulevard, Brooklyn, NY 11221
179 Malcolm X Boulevard is a 4-unit, 4-story residential building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn. The vintage 1931 structure has experienced recurring maintenance issues over recent years, with the most pressing concerns centering around pest management and heating systems. In late 2024, multiple 311 complaints were filed regarding unsanitary conditions, specifically pests and mold, though inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) did not result in any violations.
The building has a documented history of heating and hot water problems, particularly in December 2022 when multiple complaints were filed regarding the entire building's systems, though tenants reported restoration of service. Window frame issues were reported and partially investigated in early 2022. The property has faced challenges with bedbug management, as evidenced by violation notices in 2021 and 2024, though the most recent report from December 2024 indicates a single unit infestation that was subsequently eradicated.
Earlier inspections in 2022 revealed mold and rodent infestation issues in apartment 4A, which were eventually abated. Building maintenance compliance appears to be a concern, with a December 2023 violation issued regarding improperly secured air conditioning units on the first and third floors, carrying a $250 penalty. However, the building has consistently passed rodent inspections in 2018, 2022, and most recently in July 2024. While the property has experienced various maintenance challenges typical of aging tenements, the management has generally responded to violations and inspections.
