336 Marcus Garvey Blvd, Brooklyn, NY 11221

The 6-unit, 4-story tenement building at 336 Marcus Garvey Blvd in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Cecil Lennon, has an extensive history of maintenance issues and violations spanning several years. Most recently, in the first half of 2025, multiple complaints regarding the building's bell/buzzer/intercom systems and wall paint/plaster conditions were filed and inspected by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), though no violations were issued in these cases.

Significant issues were documented in late 2024, including violations related to inadequate heat/hot water in the entire building and problems with a sink basin, particularly affecting the apartment 3R. The building has an open Class B violation for defective plastered surfaces and paint issues in the 4th room of apartment 3R from October 2024, along with an open Class C violation regarding access to the heating system in the cellar boiler room. Earlier complaints from 2023-2024 include a power outage complaint in October 2023, and recurring issues with the intercom system.

The property has shown compliance with rodent inspections, passing all initial inspections in 2022 and 2024. Recent bedbug reports (2023 filing) indicated no infestations during the 2021-2022 reporting period, and a complaint regarding work without a permit was investigated in October 2024, though no violations were found at that time. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of non-emergency and emergency complaints requiring attention, particularly affecting the heating/hot water systems, plumbing, and interior maintenance, with most violations either closed or still pending resolution as of mid-2025, though some have been certified as corrected.
