260 New York Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11216

260 New York Avenue is a three-story, four-unit New Law Tenement building located in Crown Heights, built in 1899 and currently owned by Prashanth Rayapudi. The building has experienced several recurring maintenance issues, with the most recent being a heat/hot water complaint in February 2025 that HPD was unable to inspect. From January to May 2023, multiple complaints were filed regarding various issues including water leaks, door/window problems, electrical system concerns, safety-related carbon monoxide detector issues, flooring problems, ventilation system deficiencies, and intercom system issues - all of which HPD was unable to inspect.

The building has had two verified heat/hot water emergencies (in January 2023 and February 2025) and multiple non-emergency complaints during the same period. The property has maintained proper bedbug reporting compliance for the past three years, with no reported infestations or need for eradication. Recent rodent inspections in 2023-2025 have all passed, though there was one instance of rat activity noted in 2011.

Department of Buildings records show multiple permits issued between 2020-2021 for external work, though specific details of the work are not provided in the records. The building had three bedbug reporting violations from 2021-2023, all of which were closed, and multiple Department of Buildings violations from 2022 that were dismissed. While the building has had various maintenance issues, it's worth noting that many complaints were unable to be inspected due to lack of access, and many violations appear to have been resolved based on "closed" status in the records.
