209 Malcolm X Boulevard, Brooklyn, NY 11221
The building at 209 Malcolm X Boulevard in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Yossel Lichtman, is a 3-story, 5-unit Old Law Tenement constructed in 1910. The property has experienced multiple maintenance issues over the past two years (2023-2025), with particularly notable problems including recurring issues with garbage recycling storage and rodent activity.
The most recent service requests from September 2024 included complaints about unsanitary conditions related to sewage (resolved) and garbage/recycling storage (HPD inspection found no violations). The building has also experienced plumbing-related issues, as evidenced by multiple complaints in early 2024 regarding toilet problems, and recurring unsanitary conditions including mold and ventilation concerns. In terms of housing maintenance code violations, several issues were documented in 2023-2024, including problems with the building's heating system (particularly in apartment 1R), water leaks (notably in bathroom of apartment 2L), and various building maintenance issues such as broken glass panels, improper garbage storage, and maintenance of public areas.
Recent inspections in 2025 have shown continued rat activity, though previous inspections in 2024 and 2023 had passed. Notably, the property has maintained a consistent record of having no bedbug infestations over the past five years, with all annual filings showing zero infested units. While some violations have been closed promptly and inspections passed, the recurring nature of certain issues, particularly related to sanitation and rodent control, suggests ongoing maintenance challenges at this property.
