AI summary · updated June 2026

The 8-unit, 4-story building at 30 Starr Street in Bushwick, owned by Prashanth Rayapudi, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over the past few years. Most notably, there have been recurring problems with heating and hot water, with emergency complaints filed in January and February 2024, though inspectors were unable to access apartments for verification. This building has also faced multiple safety concerns, including unresolved issues with smoke detectors in 2023-2024 and carbon monoxide detectors in 2023, though no violations were ultimately issued for these inspections. In late 2023 through early 2024, there were multiple instances of rat activity documented during inspections, with bait being applied on several occasions between September and October 2023, and most recently in early 2025.

The building's history also reveals past maintenance challenges, including problems with a refrigerator in October 2023, plumbing issues in 2021, and a garbage/recycling storage violation in 2019 that resulted in issued violations. During 2021, the building received four Housing Maintenance Code violations related to encumbrances in public halls across multiple stories and a roofing system issue, though these were all closed by late 2021. Notably, the building has maintained a clean bedbug record through multiple annual reports from 2021-2024, with no reported infestations. The most recent rodent inspections continue to show active management response, with multiple bait applications and initial inspections indicating ongoing rodent activity that requires attention.
