Augrented Insights Report for 970 Greene Avenue

970 Greene Avenue is a four-story, 8-unit residential building in Bedford-Stuyvesant, constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Prashanth Rayapudi. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues, with the most recent concerns emerging in September 2024, including unsanitary conditions related to mold, pests, and a slow water leak, though no violations were issued following HPD inspections. The building has a significant history of pest-related complaints, particularly during 2023-2024, with multiple violations noted regarding infestations, especially in apartment 1B, which has also faced life-safety equipment violations related to smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.

Although there were several HPD complaints in 2023 that could not be inspected due to access issues, previous inspections did result in violations that were subsequently certified as corrected. The building's documented history shows various infrastructure and safety concerns, including a 2022 heat and hot water issue, problems with doors and flooring noted in 2023, and multiple pest-related violations. A cluster of concerns emerged in 2019 regarding the roof deck installation and gas utility systems, including unauthorized work and improper gas supply installations, which resulted in several environmental control board violations.

More recently, rodent activity has been a persistent problem, with multiple inspections in 2024 and 2025 confirming rat activity was present. While the building has maintained a bedbug-free record since 2019, with annual reports showing zero infested units, the ongoing issues with pests, moisture, and safety equipment suggest continuing maintenance challenges. The property has generally responded to violations and complaints through corrective actions, as indicated by numerous violations being certified as corrected, though some issues remain open or were not able to be inspected.
