72 Van Buren Street, Brooklyn, NY 11221
The three-story, three-unit building at 72 Van Buren Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Ravi Raghavan, has experienced ongoing maintenance and pest control challenges since its conversion to Class A status. A series of violations between 2019 and 2024 indicate persistent issues, with particularly notable problems in 2019 when multiple complaints regarding unsanitary conditions, including mold and pest infestations, were documented.
During this period, there were also plumbing issues, including slow water leaks and problems with a basin/sink, all of which resulted in HPD violations. More recent records from 2024-2025 show ongoing pest control efforts, including multiple rodent bait applications and inspections, with intermittent rat activity noted through 2024.
Additionally, there are four open Class A violations from 2021-2024 regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports, as well as several Class B violations related to safety and maintenance requirements in Apartment 3 from 2019, including issues with smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, bathroom plaster, and water pressure problems. While the building achieved a "Passed" status in rodent inspections as of March 2025, the property's recent history suggests a pattern of recurring maintenance and pest control challenges that have required ongoing attention.
