83 St Marks Place, Brooklyn, NY 11217

83 St Marks Place is a four-story, three-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Park Slope, Brooklyn, built in 1910 and currently owned by Prashanth Rayapudi. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past decade, particularly between 2018-2019 when there were multiple documented instances of rat activity, with inspections showing consistent rodent presence despite bait applications.

More recently, the property has maintained a bedbug-free status since 2022, with annual reports confirming zero infested units. The building underwent a series of violations in 2021 relating to construction activity, including multiple complaints about work without permits, work contrary to stop work orders, and construction beyond approved plans, though inspections generally found no violations warranting penalties.

The building has had various maintenance violations requiring attention, including three consecutive years (2021-2023) of violations related to failing to file annual bedbug reports, and a 2009 violation concerning fire escape safety and window repairs in Apartment 2 that was only certified as corrected in 2022. Environmental violations from 2021 noted issues with improperly maintained scaffold systems and excessive material storage on shored floors, resulting in fines that have since been resolved. The property has shown some improvement in terms of maintenance compliance in recent years, with all documented bedbug reports filed correctly in 2023-2024 showing no infestations, though the building's history of rodent issues and construction-related violations in 2021 suggests periodic maintenance challenges.
