Augrented Insights Report for 161 Prospect Park West

161 Prospect Park West is an 8-unit, 4-story Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1899, currently owned by Prashanth Rayapudi. The property has experienced significant heat and hot water issues in 2025, with multiple complaints filed between May 22 and May 25, 2025, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. These complaints resulted in violations being issued after inspections confirmed inadequate heat and hot water conditions, with one apartment inspection revealing both a hot water temperature exceedance and a lead paint hazard near a window frame.

The building's maintenance history shows several concerning issues, including multiple open violations from late 2024 regarding heating system access, temperature control, and various deficiencies in apartments 2L and 3L, such as defective doors, light fixtures, and radiator connections. 2023-2024 records indicate problems during construction work, including excessive dust and failure to properly implement tenant protection measures, along with exterior building maintenance concerns including displaced brick and mortar joints. The Department of Buildings records show various violations throughout 2023-2025, including unresolved facade maintenance issues and a history of sidewalk shed violations. While the building has passed recent rodent inspections in 2025, previous inspections noted rat activity and other concerns.

The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, showing no confirmed cases since 2020. Recent tenant complaints and inspection findings suggest ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly regarding heating systems and building safety features, while simultaneous construction work in 2023 raised additional concerns about dust control and tenant safety. Please note that while the building has received numerous violations and complaints over recent years, many historical violations have been dismissed or resolved, indicating some level of responsiveness to regulatory requirements. The information is based on available building data up to October 2023, with some recent events through July 2025, and may not capture the full scope of current conditions.
