20-27 Menahan Street, Queens, NY 11385
The two-story, four-unit tenement building at 20-27 Menahan Street in Ridgewood, owned by Prashanth Rayapudi, has experienced recurring pest and maintenance issues throughout the past two years. Most notably, the property has faced multiple rodent-related complaints in 2024, with inspections showing rat activity in March 2024, though it passed a subsequent compliance inspection in May 2024.
The building has a documented history of pest problems, with three separate rodent complaints in March and April 2024, and multiple unsanitary condition violations related to pests in June 2023. Additional health and safety concerns include a sewage odor incident in June 2023, water leak issues (heavy flow and damp spots) reported in May 2023, and violations related to mold (both emergency and non-emergency) during the same month.
The building's violation history shows persistent maintenance challenges, with noteworthy violations recorded in September 2023 regarding defective door hardware at the bulkhead entrance on the second story. While the property has maintained a clean record for bedbugs over the past three years (with no infested units reported in filings from 2021 to 2024), the recurring rodent issues and other maintenance violations suggest ongoing challenges with building upkeep. The properties of most concern include the rodent activity, unsanitary conditions, and water-related issues, which directly impact resident comfort and safety.
