315 Malcolm X Boulevard, Brooklyn, NY 11233

The four-story, eight-unit residential building at 315 Malcolm X Boulevard in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Felicia Colon, has experienced several maintenance challenges in recent years. Most notably, there have been recurring issues with heat and hot water, including a complaint in January 2025 that HPD could not investigate due to lack of access. The building faced significant pest control challenges in 2024, with multiple complaints regarding unsanitary conditions and infestations, particularly affecting apartment 4B, which was found to have both mice and roaches in August 2024, along with mold and multiple plaster/paint issues.

The building has a history of water-related problems, including a heavy flow leak complaint in September 2024, and various plaster/paint concerns that have resulted in violations. Safety systems have been the subject of multiple complaints, with inspections in September 2024 addressing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, though no violations were issued. More recent developments show some improvement, with rodent inspections in 2024 and 2025 passing, and no bedbug infestations reported in the last three filing periods.

However, there remain open violations from November 2024 affecting apartment 2B regarding a bathroom door and wash basin issues. The building's maintenance history also includes a past electrical wiring complaint in 2022, though inspectors were unable to gain access, and an illegal conversion complaint in 2019 that was not substantiated. The property has maintained regular bedbug and rodent monitoring, with the most recent inspections in 2025 showing compliance, though the building experienced one bedbug infestation in 2019 that was reportedly eradicated.
