Augrented Insights Report for 1997 Ralph Avenue

1997 Ralph Avenue is a 4-story, 8-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1910, currently owned by Moshe Wilhelm. The building has experienced recurring heating system issues, with three heat/hot water complaints in 2024 and 2025, including both apartment-specific and building-wide problems, though HPD has often been unable to access units for inspection. The property has dealt with various maintenance challenges, including significant water leak issues (documented as heavy flow) in 2024, pest problems reported in 2024, and multiple complaints about paint/plaster concerns.

A notable cluster of complaints in April-May 2024 involved several issues in Apartment 7, including problems with walls, ceilings, and water-related concerns, leading to violations that were subsequently closed. The building's heating infrastructure has been a particular area of concern, with two Boiler-related complaints leading to ECB violations in 2023-2024, including improper safety valves, defective expansion tank, and debris in the boiler room. In June 2023, hazardous conditions were documented regarding water heating systems, with flue pipe issues and unsafe venting, resulting in substantial penalties.

The Department of Buildings also noted maintenance violations in 2018 related to water leaks affecting multiple floors. More recently, the building underwent several inspections in 2024 regarding various maintenance issues, including mold, water leaks, and paint conditions. On a positive note, the building has shown no reported issues with bedbugs in the most recent five reporting periods from 2020 to 2024. While many complaints have been resolved, the pattern of heating system issues and other recurring maintenance complaints suggests ongoing challenges with building systems and infrastructure.
