101 Ridgewood Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11208

101 Ridgewood Avenue is a 16-unit, 4-story tenement building located in Cypress Hills, constructed in 1905 and currently owned by Raymond Carrollo. The building has experienced recurring water-related issues, with three water leak complaints between 2024 and 2025, including one classified as an emergency with heavy flow in June 2025. Multiple plumbing problems have been reported, with several inspections noted as "unable to complete due to lack of access." A significant cluster of complaints in July 2024 involved issues with doors/windows, while other maintenance concerns included a refrigerator problem in July 2024 and bathroom water issues in December 2023. The building underwent a comprehensive inspection in April 2024 that revealed multiple violations in apartment 2B, including pest infestations (mice and roaches) and a missing carbon monoxide detector.

The inspection also identified lead paint hazards in various locations throughout apartment 3A, including baseboards and door frames. Previous maintenance history shows some infrastructure challenges, with failed rodent inspections in 2013 and 2014, though subsequently passing inspections in 2018. The property has maintained an "infestation-free" record for bedbugs over the past seven reporting periods from 2019 to 2024. The Department of Buildings had two notable complaints from 2018 and 2020 regarding electrical wiring and after-hours work, but no violations were found during inspections.

The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of plumbing and water-related issues, with multiple complaints over the past few years, particularly in 2024 and 2025. While most recent complaints have been resolved or closed, there are recurring themes of access issues during inspections and various infrastructure concerns. The property has demonstrated property management's ability to address most issues, as evidenced by the closed status of many complaints and violations, though some complaints were noted as requiring new service requests for proper resolution. The building remains under active monitoring for housing maintenance code compliance, with recent inspections focusing on water systems, plumbing, and general maintenance needs.
