334 Marcus Garvey Blvd, Brooklyn, NY 11221

The 6-unit, 4-story Old Law Tenement building at 334 Marcus Garvey Blvd, owned by Emaa Partners LLC, has been in Bedford-Stuyvesant since 1900. The property has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most notably, there are currently five open violations dating back to June 2023 regarding the failure to file external low-pressure inspections from 2018-2021, as well as an outstanding violation from January 2020 for not filing the 2017 boiler inspection report.

A concerning pattern emerged in late 2023 with a food poisoning incident reported to the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, though this was determined to be isolated, and a rodent/insect/garbage complaint with the same agency from 2021-2024. In October 2019, there was a heat and hot water complaint affecting the entire building, but inspectors were unable to gain access for verification. The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with annual reports from 2019-2024 showing zero infested units.

The property has undergone regular rodent inspections in 2022 and 2024, both of which passed successfully. A Professional Certification Compliance Audit was conducted in 2020 that found no violations at the time of inspection, and a permit was issued in July 2019 for work valued under $20,000. While the building has generally maintained compliance with bedbug and rodent management requirements, the outstanding violations related to boiler and pressure system inspections, along with recent health and safety complaints, warrant attention to the building's maintenance practices and record-keeping.
