241 Rogers Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11225

The two-family house at 241 Rogers Avenue in Crown Heights, owned by Prashanth Rayapudi, has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues over the past several years, with multiple complaints filed through HPD. The most recent heat-related complaint was filed in January 2024, affecting the entire building, while a cluster of complaints in September 2021 involved both building-wide and apartment-specific issues, including one instance where HPD could not gain access to inspect the reported conditions. A water supply issue was also reported in September 2021, with similar access problems during inspection attempts.

Earlier violations include inadequate or no heat complaints in 2018, which were subsequently addressed. The building has demonstrated good pest control management, with all recent bedbug reports (2023-2025) showing zero infested units, and the most recent rodent inspection in May 2025 passed. However, there was a failed rodent inspection in February 2025 for unspecified reasons.

The property has a history of administrative violations, including a 2018 violation regarding maintenance of the public stairway ceiling (both plaster repair and painting requirements), and a 2021 violation related to refuse accumulation in the front yard. A Department of Buildings inspection in January 2023 found no violations at the time of inspection. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with heating infrastructure, particularly during the winter months, while other building systems appear to be maintained more consistently, as evidenced by regular compliance with pest control requirements.
