Augrented Insights Report for 541 Bergen Street

The 4-story, 18-unit building at 541 Bergen Street in Prospect Heights, owned by Prashanth Rayapudi, has experienced several maintenance issues between 2022 and 2025, with some concerning patterns emerging. Most notably, there were multiple reports of refrigerator problems in 2024, with four separate complaints between June and August, none of which resulted in violations upon inspection.

The building has also faced recurring sanitation concerns, particularly regarding garbage/recycling storage, with complaints in June 2024 and August 2024, though no violations were found in inspections. Water-related issues have been documented, including plumbing problems in June 2024 and July 2024, a slow water leak in June 2024, and violations related to water leaks and mold in Apartment B1 in January 2024, though these were subsequently certified as corrected. Recent maintenance and safety concerns include open violations from August 2024 in Apartment B3 for defective plastered surfaces and paint conditions in the private hallway, and more serious issues involving heating and hot water systems in Apartment B1 documented in January 2024, though these were certified as corrected in February 2024.

The building's boiler system has undergone scrutiny, with Environmental Control Board violations issued in January 2024 regarding defects and improper support of the Weil McLain boiler, resulting in a $310 penalty. The property has demonstrated some compliance challenges with Local Law 188 inspections, as evidenced by multiple "Inspector Unable to Gain Access" outcomes in 2023-2024, though one inspection in November 2023 resulted in no violations. While the building has experienced various maintenance issues, it's worth noting that there have been no reported bedbug infestations since 2020, and rodent inspections have generally shown improvement, with the most recent inspection in February 2025 passing.
