2 3rd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11231

This 2-family, 3-story residential building located at 2 3rd Street in Carroll Gardens, owned by Prashanth Rayapudi, has been standing since 1899. The property has experienced several maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most significant cluster of complaints occurring in March 2024 when multiple housing maintenance code complaints were filed and investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). These complaints covered various issues including door/window problems, wall paint/plaster concerns, electrical wiring, flooring/stairs, and heat/hot water systems, though no violations were ultimately issued in any of these cases.

Two specific violations were recorded and subsequently resolved: one regarding a defective mortise lockset at the entrance door of Apartment 2 on the 3rd story, and another concerning a broken mechanical ventilation system in the bathroom of the same apartment. The building has been proactive in maintaining pest control measures, as evidenced by the bedbug reporting records from 2021 through 2024, all indicating zero infestations or related issues. More recent concerns include a Department of Health and Mental Hygiene complaint from February 2025 regarding rodents/insects/garbage at a food establishment, though this was not directly related to the residential portion of the building.

While there have been two sidewalk-related complaints (one about a scaffold and another about an illegal curb cut), both were found to have no violations upon inspection. The absence of any bedbug infestations over the past five reporting periods suggests effective pest management practices. The property's relatively high number of reported issues in 2024, all of which were resolved without violations, indicates ongoing maintenance attention though some residents may have experienced temporary inconveniences during the investigation period.
