Augrented Insights
AI summary · updated June 2026

233 Malcolm X Boulevard is a 4-story, 9-unit residential building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, built in 1910 and currently owned by Asher Klein. The building has experienced several notable issues over the past few years, with the most recent concerns centering around heating and water systems. In late 2024, there was a heat and hot water complaint involving the entire building, which HPD was unable to verify due to lack of access for inspection. This follows a similar pattern in 2022, which also affected multiple systems including plumbing and sewage, though those complaints were ultimately closed without inspection access being granted. The building has been the subject of multiple Department of Health complaints regarding animal facilities, with unresolved complaints from 2019 and 2025 about permit violations, and a 2022 complaint about animal odor which remains in progress.

Inspection records show the property has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements from 2019 through 2024, consistently reporting zero infested units. The building has passed recent rodent inspections in 2023, 2024, and 2025, though there were multiple bait applications noted in late 2022 and early 2023. Several Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2016 were recorded regarding proper posting of building information and bedbug reporting requirements, though these appear to have been resolved as evidenced by the most recent bedbug reports. The building's older violations were primarily related to building information postings and environmental compliance, all of which have been addressed according to the most recent records.
