Augrented Insights Report for 89 Ralph Avenue

89 Ralph Avenue is a four-story, eight-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant and owned by Simon Kaufman. Built in 1905, the property has experienced multiple maintenance and safety issues in recent years, with particularly concerning patterns in 2023-2024. The building faced several unsanitary conditions, including multiple reports of mold and pest problems, notably with one housing maintenance code violation highlighting a roach infestation in apartment 1R. There were also significant safety concerns in September 2023, with multiple complaints regarding carbon monoxide and smoke detectors, though inspections did not result in any violations.

More recent issues include a heat and hot water complaint in May 2024 and ongoing rodent management efforts, with multiple bait applications recorded in 2023. The building has undergone some structural repairs, including addressing water leaks and plaster defects in apartment 1R, though some violations remain officially open as of the latest data. The property's environmental and safety record shows a mix of resolved and ongoing issues. While there were some problems with water leaks in 2023 and rodent activity in 2022-2023, recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 have passed, suggesting some improvement in pest management.

The building's systems have experienced various problems, including an electrical power outage in July 2023. The Department of Health and Mental Hygiene conducted inspections in 2023 and found no violations related to rat sightings, though multiple complaints about pests and mold were recorded throughout 2023. Despite these challenges, the building's recent bedbug reports from 2022-2024 show no confirmed infestations, and there have been no new reports of bedbug activity since 2020. The property has also had two complaints regarding illegal commercial use and improper venting/exhaust systems, though inspections did not confirm any violations.
