212 St Nicholas Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11237
212 St Nicholas Avenue is a 2-story, 4-unit residential tenement building located in Bushwick, constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Prashanth Rayapudi. The property has experienced several maintenance and safety issues in recent years, with the most significant cluster of problems occurring in July 2024, when multiple emergency complaints were filed and subsequently addressed, including issues with carbon monoxide detectors, plumbing (basin/sink), electrical systems (lighting and no lighting), and various appliances (electric/gas range).
While these issues were reportedly corrected, they indicate potential ongoing maintenance concerns within the building systems. The building's inspection history reveals compliance with rodent control requirements, passing inspections in 2012, 2013, 2014, 2022, and 2025, suggesting effective pest management practices. The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no units reported as infested in annual filings from 2022 through 2024.
However, the building received two Class A violations related to bedbug reporting requirements in 2021 and 2022, though these were marked as closed. Prior to the recent spate of complaints in 2024, the last significant issues on record were from December 2019, involving refrigerator and electric/gas range problems for which HPD was unable to gain access for inspection. While the building has passed recent rodent inspections and maintained a zero-infested status for bedbugs, the pattern of multiple simultaneous complaints in July 2024 suggests potential concerns regarding building system maintenance and resident safety.
