1310 Putnam Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221

The two-family house at 1310 Putnam Avenue in Bushwick, owned by Prashanth Rayapudi, has experienced several maintenance issues over the past few years. Most notably, in March 2021, significant violations were documented in the second-floor apartment (2NDFLO) including inadequate hot water supply at fixtures (Class C violation), deficiencies in gas supply to kitchen range fixtures (Class C violation), and problems with window frame caulking (Class A violation).

These issues were inspected and documented by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development, and while they were eventually closed, they indicate a period of heating, ventilation, and window maintenance challenges. Earlier, in February 2020, there was a rat sighting reported to the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, followed by passing rodent inspections in 2022, 2024, and 2025, suggesting an initial pest control challenge that has since been resolved.

The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs, with all annual filings from 2021 through 2024 showing zero infested units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infested units, indicating effective pest management. The property's most recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 have passed, suggesting improved overall building conditions. While the building is over 100 years old, its recent records indicate no ongoing major maintenance issues, though the historical violations from 2021 should be noted as representative of past maintenance challenges.
