92 Ralph Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221

92 Ralph Avenue is a 4-story, 8-unit residential building constructed in 1910, currently owned by Howard Avenue Development, LP. The property has experienced several maintenance issues during the past two years, with the most recent cluster of complaints emerging from Unit 4R between July and August 2024, including multiple water leak incidents, plumbing problems, and pest infestations (both cockroaches and bedbugs).

This unit currently has several open violations from August 2024, including non-functional smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, a problematic fire escape window lock, leaking roof affecting multiple rooms, sanitary issues with kitchen sink plumbing, and various interior maintenance concerns such as defective floors and plastered surfaces. The building's recent history shows a mix of maintenance challenges and some improvements.

While there was a series of emergency complaints in early 2023 regarding cooking gas, heat, hot water, and safety systems (all of which were eventually closed), the property has maintained relatively good rodent control, passing inspections consistently from 2018 through 2025, with only one failure noted in December 2019. The most recent 311 service requests in 2024 highlight ongoing water-related issues and unsanitary conditions, with violations being issued following HPD inspections. Though the bedbug and pest reports from 2022-2023 showed zero infested units, the subsequent violations in 2024 suggest a resurgence of pest issues.
