147 Stanhope Street, Brooklyn, NY 11221

The five-story, eight-unit residential building at 147 Stanhope Street in Bushwick, owned by Prashanth Rayapudi, was constructed in 2022 and has experienced several significant maintenance issues in its short history. Most notably, there have been recurring problems with garbage and recycling storage, with multiple 311 complaints filed between 2023 and 2024 (specifically in May, August, September, and July 2024), though all these complaints were inspected by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) and no violations were issued.

The building faced two serious incidents regarding heat and hot water systems, with an emergency complaint in February 2024 affecting the entire building, though tenants reported restoration of service. A plumbing-related water supply issue was also reported in February 2024, and while HPD could not gain access for inspection, this was classified as an emergency situation.

In terms of pest control, the building had one rodent-related complaint in May 2023, which resulted in identified violations and follow-up inspections by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH). However, on a positive note, the building has had no reported bedbug infestations in the past two reporting periods (2022-2023 and 2023-2024), with the bedbug reports showing zero infested or eradicated units. Despite the various maintenance issues, it's worth noting that the majority of complaints have been classified as non-emergency, and all complaints have ultimately been closed, though some required multiple follow-ups before resolution.
