257 19th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215

The two-family house at 257 19th Street in Sunset Park, currently owned by Prashanth Rayapudi, has experienced several notable issues over the past few years, with the most concerning being a pattern of fence-related complaints in 2023. Two separate complaints about inadequate or illegal fencing were filed in May and June 2023, though in both cases, inspectors were unable to gain access to the property for their final attempts to investigate.

Prior to these fencing issues, there was a complaint about excessive debris on the property in February 2022, but this was resolved quickly with inspectors finding no violations during their March 2022 visit. The building's recent history shows no documented issues between March 2022 and May 2023, and notably, there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the 2023-2024 reporting period, with the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene records showing zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units as of December 2024.

An earlier 311 complaint from September 2019 regarding unsanitary animal conditions was closed, but the resolution details were not specified in the records. While the building's age (1899) and two-unit configuration are typical for the neighborhood, the recent fencing complaints and previous debris issue suggest some ongoing maintenance challenges, though the lack of pest issues in the most recent reporting period is a positive development.
