Augrented Insights Report for 237 Ralph Avenue

The 4-story, 8-unit residential building at 237 Ralph Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, currently owned by Yisroel Rosen, has experienced several notable issues over recent years. Most concerning are the documented heat and hot water problems in March and May 2021, though these were reportedly resolved.

More recent complaints from September 2023 regarding unsanitary garbage/recycling storage and mailbox issues were investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), though no violations were found in either case. There are multiple open Housing Maintenance Code violations from late 2021 that require attention, including missing required safety notices about smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, heating system access, and gas leak procedures, as well as a bedbug reporting requirement that was noted in 2022.

The building underwent some renovation work in late 2019, during which time multiple safety violations were recorded regarding scaffold safety, site cleanliness, and icy conditions on the sidewalk, with penalties totaling $7,500 imposed but later resolved. Recent rodent inspections show mixed results, with a failed inspection in March 2020, followed by successful inspections in October 2022 and June 2024, though a rat activity finding was recorded in June 2025. The building's bedbug reporting history has shown all units to be free of infestations since 2019, with no units requiring eradication between 2021 and 2024.
