1108 Gates Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221
The 5-unit, 3-story Old Law Tenement building at 1108 Gates Avenue in Bushwick, owned by Prashanth Rayapudi, has experienced recurring maintenance issues, particularly involving water and mold problems. The most recent inspections in November 2023 documented multiple violations in Apartment 1A, including approximately 12 square feet of mold on the east wall and 8 square feet of mold on the bathroom ceiling. These followed similar issues earlier in 2023, including water leaks and mold problems documented in July 2023, for which violations were also issued.
The building has a persistent history of water-related issues, with documented water leaks in April 2022 showing heavy flow conditions. Complaints about various maintenance issues have been filed regularly, and while most recent January-December 2024 inspections show no bedbug activity, rat activity has been recorded at various times between 2019-2025, with the most recent rodent inspection in March 2025 passing. The building has also had some concerning complaints, including a November 2023 report of building shaking/vibrating, though inspectors were unable to gain access to investigate. Historical complaints from 2018-2020 indicate concerns about unauthorized work, though a stop work order issued in 2018 was ultimately rescinded.
The property's maintenance history indicates persistent challenges with water management and mold remediation, particularly in Apartment 1A. Recent inspections have shown the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) consistently conducting inspections and issuing violations, with some complaints upgraded to emergency status. While the building appears to be maintaining compliance with recent rodent inspections, historical data shows varied results, with multiple instances of rat activity documented between 2019-2025. The property has maintained a zero-tolerance policy for bedbugs in recent years, as indicated by the bedbug reports filed annually since 2020, showing no infested units or successful eradication efforts required.
