820 Marcy Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11216
820 Marcy Avenue is a 3-story, 6-unit residential building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, and built in 1899, currently owned by Prashanth Rayapudi. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past two years, with the most recent service requests in May 2025 indicating three water-related problems (including slow and heavy leaks) and ceiling plaster issues, all resulting in HPD violations. The property has a documented history of electrical and heating/hot water problems, with multiple power outages and heat/hot water complaints in early 2024, including a Class C violation for inadequate heat supply in Apartment 5.
Water-related issues appear to be particularly persistent, with similar complaints dating back to September 2023 and August 2023 involving different units. The building's maintenance record reveals challenges with access for inspections, as seen in multiple complaints where inspectors were unable to gain entry to units. Notable violations include a 2019 Class C violation regarding fire safety egress from Apartment 1 and various building maintenance issues such as a 2023 violation related to an unauthorized lock at the building entrance.
The property has undergone several inspections for rat activity, showing mixed results between 2022 and 2025, though it passed the most recent rodent inspection in February 2025. While the building has maintained a pest-free record according to bedbug reporting from 2021 through 2024, and there have been no reported violations related to lead-based paint, the frequency of water-related issues and service request violations suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The Department of Buildings has recorded several violation dismissals related to filing requirements for external low-pressure inspections between 2023-2024, which were eventually addressed.
