The four-story, three-unit building at 113 Ralph Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Lewis Phillips, has shown consistent maintenance and compliance issues since 2022, with the most recent problems emerging in October 2024. Recent inspections have revealed multiple violations in Apartment 2 (second story) including pest infestations (mice and roaches), water leaks affecting ceilings and walls, and problems with plastered surfaces and floor tiles in both the bathroom and kitchen. While some violations from October 2024 have been certified as corrected, including certain plaster and tile repairs, one notable outstanding violation remains concerning the bathroom floor tiles. The building has experienced recurring pest issues, with documented infestations in 2022 and 2023, though the most recent bedbug report period (2022-2023) shows no infested units. The property has passed recent rodent inspections in 2024 and 2025, following some initial rat activity earlier in 2024. Historical data shows previous rat activity in 2017 and 2018, but generally passed inspections thereafter.
The building's maintenance history reveals various interior maintenance issues, including plumbing problems, cabinet concerns, and wall damage, with three separate complaints filed in October 2024 alone. The property owner has generally addressed violations when cited, though there have been repeated issues with walls, ceilings, and paint/plaster work. An illegal conversion complaint was filed in June 2024, but inspection access was denied. The building's age (built in 1905) and designation as an "OLD LAW TENEMENT" suggest it is subject to specific maintenance requirements under New York City's housing regulations. While many complaints have been resolved through inspections and repairs, the pattern of recurring maintenance issues, particularly regarding pest control and interior surfaces, suggests ongoing challenges with building upkeep and habitability.
