102 Ralph Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221

102 Ralph Avenue is a 4-story, 7-unit Old Law Tenement building in Bedford-Stuyvesant, built in 1910 and currently owned by Christopher Bramwell. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with the most recent complaint filed in October 2024 regarding lack of heat/hot water throughout the entire building. Notably, several heat-related complaints (2020, 2021, and 2024) were filed but inspectors were unable to gain access to verify the conditions.

The building has undergone multiple rodent inspections from 2014 to 2025, all of which passed. Regular bedbug reporting has shown zero infestations or re-infested units for the past several years, with the most recent filing in June 2025 showing no affected units. Significant maintenance history includes plumbing issues in 2019 (specifically involving sinks, toilets, and bathtubs/showers) and various repairs needed in Apartment 3A as of 2018-2019, including bathroom fixture repairs, ventilation system issues, and safety equipment (smoke and carbon monoxide detectors) concerns.

Multiple housing maintenance code violations were observed between 2018-2024, including a requirement to file annual bedbug reports (April 2023 and April 2024 inspections). A face covering violation was reported in January 2022 during the COVID-19 pandemic. The building has had several emergency complaints handled by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) over the years, covering various issues including plumbing, heating, and sanitary conditions, though no violations were typically issued upon inspection. The most recent documentation shows consistent rodent inspection pass rates and adherence to bedbug reporting requirements, with no current open violations as of mid-2025.
