38 Prospect Park Sw, Brooklyn, NY 11215
38 Prospect Park Southwest is a 20-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement building constructed in 1920, currently managed by owner Prashanth Rayapudi. The building has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water throughout 2024, with multiple emergency complaints filed between February and November 2024, indicating persistent building-wide heating problems. Notable maintenance concerns include active violations for building structural issues from 2023, including sagging ceilings and cracks, particularly in Apartment 18, as well as a potentially dangerous obstruction of the fire escape by an air conditioning unit on the 4th floor with an active penalty imposed of $6,250.
The building has a documented history of rodent activity, with inspections in 2024 showing continued presence of rat activity. Between 2022-2024, there were significant concerns about unsanitary conditions related to garbage/recycling storage, resulting in several housing maintenance code violations. The property has undergone multiple inspections and received various violations from 2021-2025, including structural monitoring in 2023 and several emergency situations requiring immediate attention.
Recent bedbug reports show infestation patterns with 4 units affected in 2024, though all were reportedly eradicated. A series of building violations related to electrical systems were addressed between 2021-2023, including bonding issues and improper electrical setups, though many were resolved or dismissed following corrective actions. The building's management has obtained multiple permits for various work between 2020-2022, suggesting ongoing maintenance and repair efforts. However, the pattern of recurring heating issues and the presence of active violations as of late 2024 indicate persistent maintenance challenges within the building.
