The three-story, four-unit residential building at 978 Bedford Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Prashanth Rayapudi, has experienced persistent pest and rodent issues over recent years, with the most recent rodent inspections in 2025 consistently showing rat activity. The building, constructed in 1905, has been subject to multiple government inspections and service requests, with a notable pattern of unsanitary conditions related to pests recorded in 2024, 2023, and 2019. Housing Maintenance Code violations were documented in 2020-2022, specifically regarding hot water temperature issues in apartments 1B and 3F, though these violations were eventually closed.
The property has also undergone rat inspections and treatments, with bait applied in May 2023, and multiple compliance inspections revealing ongoing rat activity through 2025. The building's maintenance history reveals several concerning patterns, including multiple pest-related complaints with variable inspection access and resolution outcomes. While the building has maintained a record of filing annual bedbug reports (showing no reported infestation in the past three years), the persistent rodent activity and multiple pest complaints suggest ongoing challenges with building maintenance.
The property has undergone inspections for various issues in 2019, including problems with flooring, walls, and a slow water leak, though no violations were issued for these complaints. The owner's response to various service requests has been documented, with some complaints being closed due to lack of access for inspection. The building's age and history of various maintenance issues suggest a property requiring ongoing attention to basic habitability standards, particularly concerning pest management and basic infrastructure maintenance.
