87 Ralph Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221
87 Ralph Avenue is a 4-story, 12-unit residential building constructed in 1908, located in Bedford-Stuyvesant and currently owned by Michael Garcia. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, including an active Housing Maintenance Code violation from April 2024 regarding the failure to file the annual bedbug report, and multiple violations related to bedbug reporting requirements in 2022.
The building has also faced structural and safety concerns, evidenced by a 2019 incident where a decorative stove piece fell from above the second-floor window onto the sidewalk, resulting in an active Environmental Control Board violation with a $12,500 penalty for failure to maintain building walls or appurtenances. There are two active Department of Buildings violations from 2023 related to failure to file the 2022 external low-pressure inspection and a prior violation regarding non-certification of correction on immediately hazardous conditions. The building's rodent control record shows a mix of compliance and issues, with the most recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 passing, while earlier inspections in 2022 and 2019 indicated rat activity.
The property has maintained proper bedbug reporting procedures in recent years, with filings showing zero infested dwelling units from 2020 through 2022, though the recent violation for not filing the 2024 report suggests some administrative oversight. The building underwent some permitted work in 2019, with a permit issued for unspecified alterations. While the building has passed several recent rodent inspections, the history of violations and safety concerns warrants attention to recurring maintenance issues.
