223A Malcolm X Boulevard, Brooklyn, NY 11221
The 3-unit residential building at 223A Malcolm X Boulevard in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Shelly Lam, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues since its construction in 2006. Most concerning are the current open violations from 2023 related to inadequate fire safety measures, including the need for fire guards and an inadequate water supply for the wet sprinkler/standpipe system. The building has also faced persistent pest control challenges, with confirmed rat activity documented during inspections in 2024 and 2025, following multiple instances of rodent-related complaints between 2020 and 2021.
Previous maintenance issues in 2021 included multiple water leak complaints, flooring problems, and interior wall concerns, though no violations were issued following HPD inspections. The property has had violations regarding unauthorized occupancy, including an illegal conversion case from 2021 that was served as an Oath Violation. Safety concerns have been documented through various Housing Maintenance Code violations, including issues with self-closing doors at building entrances and missing carbon monoxide detectors in Apartment 1.
While the building's bedbug reporting history shows no infested units between 2022 and 2024, there is a requirement for annual bedbug reporting compliance. The building's maintenance history also includes a heat/hot water complaint in 2020, though inspectors were unable to access the premises for verification. While some violations have been resolved, others remain open, particularly those addressing building safety and fire hazard concerns from 2023.
