388 Cornelia Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237

388 Cornelia Street, a 6-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement built in 1901 in Bushwick, has experienced several notable events in recent years under the ownership of Prashanth Rayapudi. The building's most recent issue involved a rat sighting reported to the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene in August 2023, though no violations were found during their inspection.

The property underwent significant construction activity in 2021-2022, during which multiple complaints were filed regarding construction safety compliance, including instances of work contrary to stop work orders, though most of these were either closed without violations or resulted in fully rescinded stop work orders. Two particularly notable violations were recorded in March 2022 regarding failure to certify corrections on immediately hazardous (Class 1) ECB violations; however, these were dismissed by June 2022. The building has maintained a good record regarding pest control, with the most recent bedbug reporting period (2024-2025) showing zero infested units, continuing a pattern established in previous reports from 2023 and 2022.

Historical inspection records from 2021 show no violations in response to various complaints, including concerns about adjacent buildings, debris, and construction safety. While there have been multiple construction-related complaints, the majority were resolved without penalties, and many inspections found no violations. The property appears to have experienced a period of active construction work requiring multiple agency inspections, but more recent records from 2023-2025 show significantly fewer complaints and violations, suggesting improved management practices.
