231 Cornelia Street, Brooklyn, NY 11221
231 Cornelia Street is a 2-family, 2-story residential building located in Bushwick, Brooklyn, built in 1910 and currently owned by Prashanth Rayapudi. The property has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, with the most recent problems occurring in mid-2023, including emergency complaints about unsanitary conditions (specifically mold) and heat/hot water problems in apartments, both of which were resolved but raised concerns about building maintenance.
Prior to these incidents, in 2022, there were significant issues during construction that resulted in three Environmental Control Board violations against Morell Builders Inc, including improper housekeeping with construction debris and food garbage, unsafe storage of combustible materials, and unauthorized removal of structural steel columns, though these violations were eventually resolved. The building has undergone regular rodent inspections, with the most recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 passing without issues, indicating improved pest management.
The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestation since 2022, with no reported cases or eradications in the past three reporting periods (2022-2023, 2023-2024, and 2024-2025). While the recent heating and mold issues suggest some ongoing maintenance concerns, the resolution of these complaints and the improved rodent control measures indicate some level of responsiveness to building maintenance challenges. It's worth noting that the heat/hot water problem reported in July 2023 was corrected according to HPD's follow-up verification.
