Augrented Insights Report for 149 4th Avenue

149 4th Avenue, a 4-story, 8-unit tenement built in 1920 and currently owned by Prashanth Rayapudi, has experienced several significant and recurring maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, from May 2023, the building faced multiple plumbing and water supply concerns, along with multiple pest-related issues. Emergency violations were recorded in 2023 regarding safety concerns including a fire escape and carbon monoxide detector, and in 2024 for unauthorized construction in apartment 3R that blocked a second means of egress to the fire escape.

These safety-related violations followed earlier infractions from 2021 when dangerous stair conditions and electrical hazards were documented. The building has a documented history of rodent activity, with inspections in 2024 (rat activity), 2022 (violations found), and other instances in 2018 showing consistent pest challenges. Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2023 included issues with public hall maintenance such as broken tiles, damaged ceilings, and improper signage.

The property has undergone multiple inspections related to illegal conversions, with 2023-2024 inspections revealing unauthorized room modifications. Several 311 complaints regarding heat and hot water issues were recorded in 2020-2021, though these were closed without violations. While the building has maintained a record of having no bedbug infestations reported in recent years (2021-2024), the persistent plumbing, safety, and pest control issues suggest ongoing maintenance challenges.
