Augrented Insights Report for 270 Malcolm X Boulevard

The 12-unit, 3-story building at 270 Malcolm X Boulevard in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Fred Ostad and constructed in 1891, has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues over recent years. Most notably, there were multiple complaints regarding rodent conditions in 2023, with inspections conducted by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene showing both passed and previously reported conditions.

The building has faced recurring heating and water supply issues, with a verified heat/hot water emergency in March 2023, though the problem was reportedly resolved shortly after inspection. In 2020, the property was involved in serious violations related to illegal conversion and unsafe living conditions, particularly concerning apartment #3C, which was found to be used for transient purposes without proper permits, creating significant safety concerns regarding egress and fire alarm systems.

These violations resulted in substantial fines totaling $6,000, plus $2,500 for defacing a posted vacate order. The building has regularly filed bedbug reports showing zero infestation between 2022 and 2024, and recent rodent inspections (2022-2025) have generally passed, though there were failures noted in 2012. The property has shown some plumbing and water supply issues between 2019-2021, with inspections finding no violations in these cases, and there remains an open Class B violation from 2021 concerning defective mortar veneer at the southeast section of the building.
