104 Ralph Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221
104 Ralph Avenue is a 4-story, 8-unit OLD LAW TENEMENT building constructed in 1910 in Bedford-Stuyvesant, currently owned by Larry Hirschfield. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water system issues, with documented complaints in 2022, 2023, and most recently in January 2025, including violations related to heating systems and hot water fixtures.
The most recent emergency heat/hot water complaint from January 2025 was closed without access being granted for inspection. The building has also faced structural concerns, with an active Environmental Control Board violation from December 2023 regarding deteriorating masonry and cornice conditions, carrying a $6,250 penalty. Additional maintenance issues include various violations and complaints between 2021-2023 related to fire safety systems (including defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in apartment 4A), plumbing concerns, and access to heating system facilities.
While the building has shown improvement in recent years, with passed rodent inspections in 2023 and 2025, there have been multiple instances of rat activity documented between 2022-2024. The property has maintained a consistent record of bedbug-free status from 2020 through the present, with no reported infestations in the past five years. Recent improvements include the issuance of a permit in 2019, though the specific nature of this work is not detailed in the available records.
