100 Malcolm X Boulevard, Brooklyn, NY 11221

The 9-unit residential building at 100 Malcolm X Boulevard in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Prashanth Rayapudi, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues since 2023. Most recently, in December 2024, there was an emergency heat and hot water outage affecting the entire building, though these services were reportedly restored before inspection. The building has had recurring moisture and hygiene problems, including mold and water leak complaints in mid-2024 that did not result in violations, and a July 2023 pest-related complaint that inspectors were unable to access.

Multiple violations were recorded in 2023 related to building safety, including obstructed fire escapes and defective self-closing doors in the compactor closet on various floors, though these were subsequently closed. The property has undergone several inspections and faced multiple regulatory actions over the years. In 2020, there were five Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations issued to Impact Builders Corp. related to construction safety, documentation, and inadequate protection for adjacent properties during building modifications, resulting in penalties totaling $12,500.

While most of these violations were resolved, there were subsequent issues in 2021 regarding certification failures for immediately hazardous ECB violations. The building's maintenance history shows regular rodent inspections, with varying results between 2022 and 2025, including indications of rat activity in 2023-2024, though most recent inspections have passed. The property has maintained a bedbug-free status since at least 2022, according to official reports. Three tenant safety inspections conducted between 2023 and 2024 found no violations, and the building appears to have complied with Local Law 188/17 requirements in its most recent inspection.
