735 Ralph Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11212

735 Ralph Avenue is a 2-story, 6-unit residential building located in Brownsville, Brooklyn, built in 1930 and currently owned by Francis St Louis. The building has experienced several recurring administrative issues over the past four years, specifically related to its annual bedbug reporting obligations under the Housing Maintenance Code. From 2021 to 2024, the property received four separate Class A violations for failure to file the required annual bedbug report, though the most recent report filed in June 2025 for the period ending October 2024 indicated zero infested or previously infested units, suggesting improved compliance.

The building's rodent management history shows some concern, with a rodent-related complaint in May 2022 that resulted in a DOHMH inspection, which passed with only minor violations. While rodent inspections in 2017, 2018, and 2022 all passed, there was one instance of rat activity noted in October 2009. The property has also been subject to two Sidewalk Shed/Supported Scaffold complaints in late 2019, though both complaints were closed due to inspectors being unable to gain access to the property.

The building's maintenance record shows a generally responsive approach to pest management, with no reported infestations in recent annual filings. The relatively high number of bedbug reporting violations in prior years, while now resolved, represents the most significant pattern of noncompliance in the building's recent history. However, the most current bedbug report submission indicates proper management of this particular issue moving forward.
