266 Malcolm X Boulevard, Brooklyn, NY 11233

The four-story, 9-unit tenement building at 266 Malcolm X Boulevard in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Asher Klein, was constructed in 1892 and is classified as a New Law Tenement. The property has experienced several noteworthy incidents in recent years, with the most significant occurring in March 2022, when there were complaints about inadequate heat and water supply. The Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) responded to these emergency complaints, though access to inspect the heat and hot water issues was not granted.

No violations were issued for the water supply complaint. Prior to this, from 2019-2021, the building underwent some regulatory scrutiny, including a construction-related complaint that resulted in a Stop Work Order being fully rescinded and a Restroom Non-Compliance issue that led to an Oath Violation being served. The building's maintenance record shows consistent attention to pest control and rodent management.

Since 2019, there have been no reported bedbug infestations, with all annual reports indicating zero affected units. The most recent rodent inspections from 2025 and 2024 both passed, continuing a trend of generally successful pest management. Notably, there was a period of rat activity recorded in September 2017, which appears to have been effectively addressed, as subsequent inspections have shown no such problems. The property has maintained regular compliance checks, with bedbug reporting showing consistent monitoring and no violations related to pest management in recent years.
