268 Malcolm X Boulevard, Brooklyn, NY 11233

The four-story, six-unit Old Law Tenement building at 268 Malcolm X Boulevard in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Mamnoon Marghoob, has experienced several notable maintenance issues and violations in recent years. Most concerning are the active violations for failure to file external low-pressure inspections for 2018-2020, and an ongoing violation from October 2022 regarding damage to fire retardant material at the fourth-story public hall ceiling. The building has a documented history of maintenance concerns in 2022, including electrical wiring issues, water leaks, pest problems, and garbage storage concerns, though most of these complaints were resolved without violations.

The Department of Buildings has recorded multiple recent complaints about unpermitted work in late 2024, though inspectors were unable to gain access during their visits. Despite these issues, there have been some positive developments regarding building conditions. The property has maintained compliance with rodent inspections, passing recent evaluations in 2025, 2024, and 2022, following a previous instance of rat activity in 2016.

Bedbug reports filed in 2021, 2023, and 2024 show no recorded infestations during these periods, indicating successful pest management. The building's moisture and water-related issues appear to have been addressed, with a new boiler permit issued in January 2023 suggesting recent infrastructure improvements. While the property has had its share of maintenance challenges, the pattern of resolving most complaints and passing regular inspections indicates ongoing management attention to building conditions, though the recent unpermitted work complaints suggest potential ongoing maintenance practices that may not comply with regulations.
