Recent estate sale, an unregistered corporate owner, and 9 open Class C violations.
An eight-unit Bed-Stuy walk-up long held in family hands was sold out of an estate in May 2026 for $1.4M. That ownership shift lands on top of 24 open housing-code violations, including 9 immediately hazardous Class C items, alongside an open registration violation. Three things to know:
Ownership changed in May 2026, but valid contact records remain missing. The entity 323 Malcolm X LLC bought the property in May 2026 for $1.4M following an estate deed transfer. By November 2025, the building was cited for failing to file a valid registration statement, leaving no registered managing agent on file. That leaves day-to-day operational accountability unsettled during an ownership transition.
Heat calls, locked boiler rooms, and active mold mark the record. Twelve heat and hot water calls hit the log over the past three years, paired with July 2025 violations for lacking hot water and keeping the boiler room door locked. Inspection records show Class C violations concentrated around Unit 4R alongside unresolved mold citations on the kitchen ceiling and walls.
Surrounding food business calls point to potential exhaust bleed. Six food establishment complaints cleared within three blocks over the last year, highlighting potential commercial venting and exhaust friction in the immediate vicinity. When ground-floor or neighboring food businesses operate nearby, indoor air quality and kitchen fumes can travel through shared building shafts.
