280 Suydam Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237

The 3-story, 6-unit NEW LAW TENEMENT building at 280 Suydam Street in Bushwick, owned by Prashanth Rayapudi, has experienced recurring heating and hot water issues, particularly during 2019 when there were multiple complaints affecting the entire building between March and December, though subsequent inspections often found systems restored. Most recently, in January 2025, there was another heating-related complaint that was investigated but did not reveal any violations.

The building has also undergone several violations related to self-closing doors from 2023-2024, affecting various building access points including the roof, cellar, and public hall, which were subsequently addressed and closed. In 2023, there were significant concerns regarding unauthorized renovation work, resulting in a Stop Work Order and $400 violation fee for work without a permit, though records show this was resolved. The building's maintenance history includes multiple citations for failing to file annual Bedbug Reports between 2021-2023, though recent reports from 2023-2024 indicate no infestations.

For rodent control, while recent inspections from 2023-2025 have consistently passed, records from mid-2022 showed rat activity which was subsequently addressed. The Department of Buildings also issued violations in 2023 for failing to file external low-pressure inspections for the years 2019-2021, though these were later dismissed. The building's current status as of 2025 shows no active violations related to bedbugs or heating systems, and recent rodent inspections have been passed.
