329 Prospect Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11215

The two-family house at 329 Prospect Avenue in the South Slope neighborhood, owned by Prashanth Rayapudi, has experienced several maintenance issues over the past two years, with the most recent concerns centered around pest control. In April 2024, there was a complaint about unsanitary conditions related to pests, which was investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) but resulted in no violations.

Earlier that same year, in January 2024, a rodent-related complaint was filed with the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH), though inspectors were unable to access the property for verification. Other significant issues included a heating and hot water problem affecting the entire building in February 2023, which was promptly addressed within three days, and a mold complaint the same month that was inspected with no violations noted. The building's maintenance record shows some concerning patterns, particularly with pest-related issues, though recent inspections appear to show improvement.

A rodent inspection conducted in March 2024 passed without noted violations. Importantly, the property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations over the past three reporting periods from 2022 through 2024, with zero reported cases of infestation, eradication, or re-infestation. It's worth noting that while the building is over 120 years old, the presence of these maintenance issues and recent pest complaints suggests ongoing attention to building maintenance requirements is necessary.
