25 Van Buren Street, Brooklyn, NY 11221
This four-story, six-unit building at 25 Van Buren Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Prashanth Rayapudi, was constructed in 2014 and has consistently passed regular rodent inspections from 2020 through 2025. However, the property has experienced recurring maintenance issues, particularly related to water and air quality.
Most recently, in June 2025, there were complaints about both mold and a slow water leak, though HPD was unable to complete inspections for these complaints. The building has a documented history of water-related problems, with multiple complaints about leaks and damp spots between 2024 and 2025, including a September 2024 violation regarding hot water issues in Apartment 1. The property has also faced challenges with indoor air quality, with two separate DOHMH complaints in 2025 and 2024 regarding chemical vapors, though inspectors were only able to conduct a full inspection of one of these incidents.
Mold appears to be a persistent issue, with multiple complaints and violations across different units, particularly affecting Apartments 1 and 4. Notable violations from September 2024 include mold conditions, water leaks, and heat/hot water problems in Apartment 1, while Apartment 4 had violations regarding carbon monoxide detectors and other maintenance issues. Despite these maintenance challenges, the building's bedbug reports show no infestations between 2020 and 2024, and all rodent inspections have resulted in "Passed" ratings, indicating effective pest management and rodent control measures.
