275 Malcolm X Boulevard, Brooklyn, NY 11233

The four-story old-law tenement building at 275 Malcolm X Boulevard in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Christopher Bramwell, has presented several recurring maintenance issues over recent years, particularly regarding basic services. The property has experienced multiple heat and hot water complaints, with emergency reports in 2019, 2020, 2021, 2023, 2024, and most recently in 2025. Access issues have often hindered inspections of these problems.

More recent concerns include a water leak (March 2025) and intercom system issues (March 2025), with the latter case requiring multiple inspection attempts. The building has had two documented incidents involving door or window problems in May 2023, one of which could not be inspected due to access issues. The property, built in 1910, has undergone some maintenance and compliance actions, including the resolution of several Housing Maintenance Code violations in 2021 related to the fourth-story public hall, which involved repairs to address ceiling leaks, fire retardant materials, and painting requirements.

An inspection in 2024 revealed missing decorative stones around the windows on the second and third floors' front facade, resulting in an active Environmental Control Board violation with a $625 penalty. Interestingly, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs, with no reported infestations in the past seven annual filings (2019-2025), and all rodent inspections since 2017 have resulted in passing grades. While the building has experienced multiple service-related complaints and maintenance issues, the consistent passing of rodent inspections and the absence of bedbug infestations in recent years suggest effective pest management practices.
