Augrented Insights Report for 144 Ralph Avenue

The 10-unit, three-story tenement building at 144 Ralph Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Harry Retek and built in 1910, has experienced several recurring maintenance and safety issues over the past two years. Most concerning are the recent indoor air quality issues related to sewage odor (April 2025), ongoing water-related problems in Apartment 3B that resulted in multiple violations in 2024 (including leaks, damp spots, and ceiling issues), and periodic heat/hot water outages reported in both 2023 and 2024.

Additional violations were recorded in 2024 regarding carbon monoxide detectors, water leaks, and plaster repairs. The building has also had three inspections related to illegal hotel room complaints in 2023, though no violations were substantiated during these inspections. The property has maintained a clean record regarding pest issues, with no reported instances of bedbugs between 2021 and 2024, and all recent rodent inspections (most recently in June 2025) have passed.

While the building's maintenance history shows regular reporting of various issues through 311 service requests and HPD complaints, many of these were addressed without resulting in significant long-term violations. The most recent bedbug report for 2023-2024 shows no affected units, indicating effective management of this particular issue. However, the pattern of water-related problems, particularly in Apartment 3B, and periodic heat/hot water issues suggest ongoing infrastructure challenges that have required multiple tenant complaints to address.
