227A Malcolm X Boulevard, Brooklyn, NY 11221

The three-unit building at 227A Malcolm X Boulevard, owned by Remy Raisner and constructed in 2007, has experienced numerous maintenance issues over the past several years, with the most significant concerns emerging from 2020 to present. Currently, there are active violations related to unauthorized occupancy and construction work at the property, including an illegally converted cellar space with unauthorized partitions, kitchen facilities, and bathroom installation, for which penalties totaling $3,750 have been imposed.

The building has faced persistent pest problems, including multiple complaints about roach infestations. Between 2020-2024, there have been recurring reports of various health and safety concerns, including sewage issues, pest infestations, electrical problems, and inadequate heat/hot water service, with many inspections resulting in 'unable to gain access' outcomes.

A notable health concern is the property's history of rodent activity, as evidenced by multiple inspections showing rat presence between 2020 and 2025, though earlier inspections from 2011 and 2014 had passed. The building's bedbug reporting for the years 2021-2023 shows no infestations recorded during these periods, and there is no current evidence of active bedbug problems. While some violations from 2020 have been closed, including issues with electrical outlets, wall finishes, and safety devices, there remains an open violation regarding pest control that was certified in October 2024.
