1115 Jefferson Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221

The two-family house at 1115 Jefferson Avenue in Bushwick, owned by Prashanth Rayapudi, has a tumultuous history of construction-related issues and safety concerns, particularly during late 2019. Between July and December 2019, there were multiple complaints about construction work causing building vibration concerns, followed by complaints of work being conducted in violation of stop work orders. Inspection attempts during this period often encountered access issues for inspectors.

This sequence of events culminated in two Environmental Control Board violations in late 2019, one of which resulted in a $5,000 penalty for unlawfully continuing work during a stop work order. An additional Department of Buildings violation was recorded in early 2020 regarding failure to certify correction of an immediately hazardous ECB violation, though this was later dismissed in January 2021. On a more positive note, the building has maintained a clean record regarding pest issues in recent years.

Bedbug reporting from 2022 through late 2024 shows no incidents of infestation or eradication. The property has also successfully passed multiple rodent inspections between 2010 and 2025, including three consecutive passes in 2022, 2024, and 2025, with only one instance of rat activity noted in late 2010. The most recent building-related activity appears to be the rodent inspection conducted in April 2025, which passed, suggesting the property is currently under proper maintenance regarding both pest control and building code compliance.
