285 Malcolm X Boulevard, Brooklyn, NY 11233
The four-story, six-unit old law tenement building at 285 Malcolm X Boulevard in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Nehemiah Leckie, has exhibited persistent maintenance and safety compliance issues over recent years. Most notably, the building has recurring bedbug report violations, with open citations from 2021 through 2024 related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by Housing Maintenance Code.
Additionally, there is a concerning pattern of unaddressed low-pressure inspection violations, with six active citations issued between April 2022 and September 2024 for failing to file required external low-pressure inspection reports from 2018 through 2023. The building's rodent inspection history shows mixed results, with the most recent inspection in June 2025 resulting in a failure for unspecified reasons, though it had passed in July 2024 and November 2022.
Prior to this, the building experienced multiple rodent-related issues in 2019, with inspections in May, July, and September indicating rat activity or general failures for other reasons. A construction-related complaint was filed in March 2023, but inspectors' attempts to gain access were unsuccessful. The building's combined history of ongoing bedbug report non-compliance, multiple unfiled safety inspections, and inconsistent rodent control measures suggests persistent challenges in maintaining building safety and habitability standards.
