Augrented Insights Report for 196 Prospect Park West

196 Prospect Park West is a 4-story, 8-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1905, currently owned by Prashanth Rayapudi. The building has experienced various maintenance and safety issues in recent years, with particularly notable problems emerging in 2023-2025. Most recently, in May 2025, there were reports of unsanitary conditions involving pests, with HPD issuing violations that required the owner to address the issues.

The building has had recurring problems with garbage/recycling storage, evidenced by multiple complaints throughout 2024, some resulting in violations. The property faced significant infrastructure challenges in late 2023, including heat/hot water issues in November and electrical problems in September, though these were reportedly resolved through inspections. There have been multiple rodent inspections over the years, with the most recent in April 2024 passing, though several inspections between 2019-2022 showed rat activity requiring bait application.

The building's history includes various building code violations and regulatory scrutiny, particularly in 2021 when there were issues with elevator service, electrical work, and plumbing compliance, all of which resulted in Oath Violations. Inspection records from 2023-2024 show several Housing Maintenance Code violations related to door functionality, window guards, and safety equipment, though most have been marked as closed after appropriate corrections were made. The property has maintained a consistent record of pest control measures, with no bedbug infestations reported in the past three years (2022-2025), and while there were numerous rodent activity reports between 2019-2021, recent inspections show improved conditions with only one passing inspection in 2024. The building's permit history shows activity primarily related to plumbing and electrical work, with the most recent permit issued in August 2024.
