350 Marcus Garvey Blvd, Brooklyn, NY 11221

The three-story, three-unit tenement building at 350 Marcus Garvey Boulevard in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Jashim Bhuiyan and constructed in 1900, has experienced recurring heating system issues over the past two years. Most notably, there have been four heat/hot water-related emergency complaints in the past year alone, with the most recent occurring in January 2025, though HPD was unable to gain access to the building for inspection in this instance.

A concerning pattern of heat-related problems is evident, with multiple whole-building and apartment-specific complaints between December 2023 and 2025. The building currently has several open violations, including inadequate vestibule lighting, faulty self-closing doors, and a missing bedbug report notice, as well as multiple active Department of Buildings violations for failure to file annual external low-pressure inspections dating back to 2018. Additional structural and safety concerns have been documented, including an open violation for inadequate heat supply in Apartment 1 and issues with the building's heating system access.

Multiple rodent inspections have shown fluctuating results, with the most recent inspection in June 2024 passing, but a failed inspection in August 2023 citing "Other Reasons". The building's maintenance history shows a mix of resolved and ongoing issues, with multiple 311 complaints in late 2023 regarding various problems including window frame concerns, unsanitary conditions (mold and pests), and a fire escape inspection. While some inspections have resulted in no violations, the recurring nature of heat-related complaints and the presence of open violations suggest ongoing maintenance challenges in this century-old building.
