236 Kingsland Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11222

236 Kingsland Avenue is a 3-story, 6-unit Old Law Tenement building in Greenpoint, built in 1931 and currently owned by Prashanth Rayapudi. The building has experienced several pest-related issues over the past few years, with the most recent being a reported unsanitary condition involving pests in March 2024, though no violations were found following the HPD inspection.

There were confirmed rat sightings in December 2022, and rodent activity was documented during inspections in January and February 2023. The property also received an A-class violation in February 2022 concerning the failure to file an annual bedbug report, though subsequent filings from 2020 through 2024 consistently show zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units, suggesting this issue has been resolved. Additionally, the building's maintenance record shows attention to structural concerns, with a Department of Buildings inspection in March 2021 responding to a complaint about potentially falling debris, though no violations were warranted at the time of inspection.

Two exterior work permits were issued in 2020 and 2021, indicating ongoing maintenance or improvements to the building's exterior. While the building has had multiple pest-related incidents, the frequency and nature of bedbug and rodent issues appear to have stabilized in recent years, with the most current bedbug filings showing no affected units. The building's documented complaints and violations suggest that while there have been periodic pest control challenges, there has been compliance with reporting requirements following the 2022 violation, and recent inspections show no major safety concerns.
