500A Quincy Street, Brooklyn, NY 11221

The two-family house at 500A Quincy Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Prashanth Rayapudi, has experienced several concerning maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, in March 2024, the building faced multiple sanitation challenges, including sewage problems and mold concerns, which resulted in multiple emergency Housing Maintenance Code complaints. In addition, there was a documented sewage odor issue that required attention from the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene in late March 2024.

The building's history also reveals previous rodent-related problems, with the most recent inspection in August 2023 showing no violations, though a condition attracting rodents was noted in June 2022. The Department of Buildings records indicate some structural and safety concerns, including a blocked egress violation in March 2024,though this was addressed promptly. Earlier issues included a stop work order in 2019 related to permit compliance, which was eventually rescinded.

While there have been multiple rodent-related complaints between 2019 and 2024, the most recent bedbug reports from 2022 to 2024 show zero infested units. It's worth noting that despite the various complaints, many inspections resulted in no violations being issued, though the pattern of complaints suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The building has remained officially classified as a two-family house since its construction in 1901.
