Augrented Insights Report for 558 Ralph Avenue

558 Ralph Avenue is a four-story, 12-unit residential building located in Crown Heights, built in 1925 and currently owned by Faiz Ahmed. The building has experienced persistent heat and hot water issues over the past two years, with multiple 311 complaints in 2024 (both for apartments and entire building) and several similar complaints in late 2022. There are ongoing safety concerns, particularly regarding fire escape accessibility, with active violations from 2023 and 2024 related to obstructions (including an air conditioning unit) affecting egress.

The building has also faced rodent infestations, with recent rodent inspections in 2024 showing failed results for rat activity, following a similar pattern in 2021 and multiple failed inspections between 2019-2020. Apartment 3 has documented maintenance issues from 2022, including plumbing defects, electrical problems, and pest control violations, while recent 2025 housing maintenance complaints have noted various non-emergency maintenance needs including missing signage and door/window issues. The building has multiple open violations with the Department of Buildings regarding failure to file required inspections, including low pressure inspection violations from 2023 and a notable 2019 ECB violation concerning fire escape maintenance with an associated penalty of $6,250.

The property has a complicated history with pest management, showing significant bedbug activity in 2020-2021 (13 units affected) though recent filings from 2022-2024 indicate no current infestations. Access issues have been a recurring theme in both health and housing department inspections, with multiple instances where inspectors were unable to gain entry to units for verification of complaints. The building's maintenance record shows a pattern of responding to complaints with inspections that typically find no violations, though this has not resolved the ongoing nature of many reported issues.
