915 St Johns Place, Brooklyn, NY 11216

The 4-story, 8-unit tenement building at 915 St Johns Place in Crown Heights, owned by Prashanth Rayapudi, has experienced several maintenance issues over the past couple of years. Between July 2023 and March 2024, there were multiple complaints regarding doors/windows, with at least seven complaints related to doors, many classified as emergencies. There were also three complaints about unsanitary conditions involving pests, two of which resulted in violations.

A water leak was reported in September 2023, and a refrigerator issue was documented in July 2023. Earlier in 2023, there was a complaint about lack of heat/hot water that inspectors were unable to verify due to access issues. The building's violation history shows several significant safety concerns were addressed between 2018-2019. These included problems with the building's entrance security features, such as illegal electromagnetic locking devices, and inadequate lighting at the entrance.

Multiple safety violations related to baluster replacement, door self-closing mechanisms, and emergency lighting were documented and subsequently certified as resolved by 2022. The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with zero cases reported for the past seven consecutive years (2017-2024). Recent inspections for rodent issues in 2023 and 2024 resulted in passing grades, indicating effective pest management. While many of the recent complaints have been investigated and closed without violations being issued, the recurring nature of door-related complaints and pest issues suggests ongoing maintenance challenges.
