59 Ralph Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221

The two-story, three-unit building at 59 Ralph Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Abe Green, has been through several notable events since 2012, with particular focus on pest management and maintenance compliance. Most recently, the building successfully passed rodent inspections for five consecutive years from 2019-2025, showing an improvement in pest management since 2012 when rat activity was documented. Between 2021 and 2024, the property faced multiple regulatory requirements regarding bedbug reporting, with violations issued in 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024 for failure to file annual reports, though subsequent filings (showing zero infested units) suggest compliance was achieved.

A significant health concern was raised in late 2021 regarding mold issues, though the Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) department was unable to gain access for inspection, resulting in the complaint being closed without resolution confirmation. Despite this incident, the building has maintained a clean record in recent years, with no documented bedbug infestations since 2020, and the most recent bedbug report from 2024-2025 confirms no infested or eradicated units. The building's regulatory history shows a pattern of prompt response to inspection requirements and ongoing compliance efforts, particularly in pest management where regular annual reports have been submitted and passed.

The resolution of rodent issues since 2012 is particularly notable, with consistent "Passed" results in recent inspections. The mold complaint from 2021 represents the only significant resident health and safety concern on record, though there have been no similar complaints in subsequent years. The property maintains an active compliance profile with regular inspections and reporting, suggesting a commitment to maintaining housing standards, though the need for repeated violation notices regarding bedbug reporting requirements indicates areas where system compliance took time to establish.
