235 Ralph Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11233
235 Ralph Avenue is a three-story, two-family house located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, built in 1910 and currently owned by Kevin Golding. The property has experienced several recurring maintenance and safety issues over recent years, with the most significant being a pattern of heating and pest problems. In January 2024, three complaints were filed regarding heat/hot water issues and pest infestations, though HPD was unable to gain access to perform inspections in these instances.
Previous maintenance challenges include unsanitary conditions (particularly pest-related), ceiling damage requiring repairs and violations in 2021, mold issues in the bathroom in Apartment 2, and various safety concerns in 2020 including problems with smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. The building has also faced structural and safety compliance questions, as evidenced by multiple reports of illegal conversions and egress concerns between 2019-2020, though inspectors were often unable to gain access for verification. Despite these ongoing issues, the most recent rodent inspections in 2025 and 2024 showed compliance, marking improvement in pest control operations.
The building has been subject to various HPD violations over the years, including problems with window frames, garbage storage, and door hardware. While some violations have been closed, several remain open as of the most recent inspections, particularly regarding maintenance of plaster surfaces and various repairs needed throughout the building. The property's maintenance history suggests a pattern of access issues for inspectors, which may indicate challenges in addressing and verifying resolution of various building code compliance matters.
