669 Ralph Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11212

669 Ralph Avenue is a four-story, 23-unit tenement building located in Brownsville, constructed in 1930 and currently owned by Laurie Kefalidis. The building has experienced recurring heating and hot water issues, particularly notable in December 2018 when multiple complaints were filed within a two-week period, though inspections confirmed restoration of services.

A similar emergency complaint was recorded in November 2019 regarding heat and hot water problems, though inspectors could not gain access to verify the conditions. Most recently, in May 2024, there was a complaint about unsanitary conditions related to garbage/recycling storage, which was investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development but resulted in no violations being issued.

The building's health and maintenance record shows generally favorable results regarding pest control: the property has maintained a perfect record in the annual bedbug reporting system from 2019 through 2024, showing no instances of infestation. Rodent inspections from 2017 through 2018 reveal some concerns, with failed initial inspections in June and July 2017, though subsequent inspections showed compliance. While the building's history includes some notable maintenance issues, particularly regarding heating systems, recent years have shown improved conditions with no reported bedbug infestations, though the 2024 garbage storage complaint suggests ongoing minor maintenance challenges.
