223 Malcolm X Boulevard, Brooklyn, NY 11221
Located at 223 Malcolm X Boulevard in Bedford-Stuyvesant, this 3-unit, 3-story residential building constructed in 2006 has a documented history of maintenance and safety issues requiring attention. Most recently, in 2024 and 2025, the building has faced multiple concerning safety and maintenance challenges, including emergency complaints regarding fire escape safety, multiple water supply problems, and issues with carbon monoxide detectors. A significant pattern of rodent activity has been recorded, with inspections in 2025, 2024, 2023, and earlier years consistently showing rat activity, despite some inspections indicating "Passed" status.
The building has undergone various inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), particularly in November 2021, where multiple issues were identified including problems with plumbing, doors/windows, pests, and paint/plaster conditions, though no violations were ultimately issued. In early 2024, a cluster of emergency complaints was logged regarding smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, heat/hot water, and door/window issues, all of which were subsequently closed. The property has also been subject to several Housing Maintenance Code Violations between 2023-2024, most notably regarding pest control, smoke and carbon monoxide detector requirements, and issues with the kitchen ceiling in Apartment 1. While the building has filed bedbug reports showing no current infestation between 2022-2023, the ongoing rodent activity suggests persistent pest control challenges.
Additionally, there have been multiple complaints regarding illegal conversions and egress issues between 2019-2025, though most were closed due to access issues during inspections. The building's maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive rather than preventative maintenance, with multiple emergency complaints requiring resolution. While many complaints have been closed without resulting violations, the frequency and nature of the issues suggest ongoing challenges with building systems and safety compliance. The most recent rodent inspections in 2025 and 2024 indicate that pest control remains an ongoing concern for the property, despite some inspections showing compliance.
