271 Malcolm X Boulevard, Brooklyn, NY 11233

271 Malcolm X Boulevard is a four-story, six-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Albert Dweck. The building has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water, particularly evident from multiple complaints in 2020, 2022, and most recently in October 2023, where HPD was unable to gain access for inspection. Recent plumbing issues were reported in October 2023 affecting both toilets and sinks, with similar access issues during inspections.

The building has faced significant structural concerns, particularly in 2022, when multiple complaints were filed regarding building shaking and vibration, resulting in OATH violations. Building exterior maintenance has been problematic, with violations issued in 2022 regarding loose bricks, deteriorating stone lintels, and falling stucco at the rear, though these were subsequently resolved with penalties of $12,500 and $1,250 respectively. The property has an ongoing history of maintenance challenges, including a 2022 heat/hot water violation affecting apartment 4R, and various window-related issues in 2023 (window pane and frame). The building's facade has required attention, with open violations from 2022 relating to a broken entrance door pane and an illegal lock at the roof bulkhead door.

While rodent activity has been noted in inspections between 2017-2025, recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 have passed, indicating some improvement in pest management. The building has maintained a pest-free record regarding bedbugs since 2019, with no reported infestations in the past six years. The property currently has three open Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2022 regarding building access to the heating system, illegal slide bolt, and broken entrance door pane.
