812 8th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11215

The 8-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement building at 812 8th Avenue in Park Slope, owned by Prashanth Rayapudi, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues between 2024 and 2025. Most notably, there were multiple complaints regarding garbage recycling storage (September 2024 through May 2025) that prompted inspections by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) and Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), though inspections consistently found no housing law violations. Heat and hot water issues in the entire building were reported in February and October 2025, with at least one complaint classified as an emergency, though heat was reportedly restored before inspections in both instances.

A window pane issue was also reported in December 2024, and while an inspection was attempted, HPD was unable to gain access to perform a full examination. More serious safety concerns were documented in 2024, including several Notices of Violation regarding self-closing doors and fire escape obstructions during an April 2024 inspection. The building had violations related to door safety, egress, and fire escape access, though all these were officially closed by May 2024.

Two rodent sightings were reported in October 2024, with one leading to violations that were later addressed through compliance inspections. The building has maintained a clean record of bedbug control, with no infestations reported in the past seven years of mandatory filings. Recent building maintenance violations include two related to the building's exterior low-pressure inspection filings in 2022-2023, though these were ultimately dismissed. The most recent work-related violation involves a missing parapet information panel on the sidewalk shed, with an associated $1,250 penalty that appears to be active as of October 2024.
