262 Marcus Garvey Blvd, Brooklyn, NY 11221

Located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, 262 Marcus Garvey Blvd is a 4-unit, 4-story Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1931 and currently managed by 262 Mgt LLC. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most pressing concerns being multiple open violations related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports between 2021 and 2024, and an active plumbing complaint as of May 2025 regarding defective or leaking systems.

The building's history from 2019 shows a cluster of maintenance issues concentrated in January-February of that year, including heating and hot water problems affecting the entire building, window frame issues, pest infestations, slow water leaks, safety concerns regarding broken or missing window guards, and appliance problems including a refrigerator malfunction. While many of these issues were addressed through subsequent Housing Maintenance Code violations, which were closed between April-May 2019 after repairs were made, the building has continued to face regulatory scrutiny. The apartment unit 3 specifically had several violations in 2019 that were addressed, including ceiling repairs in the kitchen, mold remediation, smoke detector replacement, and water leak repairs.

The building has maintained generally good rodent inspection results, passing in 2024 and 2022, though it failed in 2019. Maintaining heating systems appears to have been a recurring challenge, as evidenced by multiple 311 complaints and Housing Maintenance Code violations. While recent inspections show some improvements (notably passing rodent inspections), the property still shows open violations and active complaints regarding bedbug reporting and plumbing issues as of 2025, indicating ongoing regulatory compliance challenges.
