80 Ralph Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221

The three-story, two-unit building at 80 Ralph Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Michael Williams, has had its share of maintenance challenges since 2020. Most notably, there have been consistent issues with bedbug reporting compliance from 2021 through 2024, with violations recorded each year related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD, though recent filings from 2024 show no infested units reported for the period.

The building has undergone regular rodent inspections, with the most recent inspection in June 2025 showing rat activity, which is concerning given the property's recent history of passing inspections in 2024, 2022, and 2020. A complaint was filed in February 2020 regarding construction work that was reportedly contrary to approved plans, though the inspector was unable to gain access during the second final attempt in March 2020.

The building's regulatory history from 2020 to 2025 shows a pattern of compliance issues primarily centered around the bedbug reporting requirement, though recent filings indicate improved adherence to this particular regulation. The presence of rat activity in the most recent inspection represents the building's only major health and safety concern in the past year, though it's worth noting that this follows a year of passing inspections. The property has maintained its registration as a "HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS A" building since its construction in 1931, though the current owner took possession in 2018.
