570 Ridgewood Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11208

The three-unit, three-story building at 570 Ridgewood Avenue in Cypress Hills, owned by Mohamed Ali, has been under significant scrutiny in recent years. Of particular concern is the property’s apparent ongoing non-compliance with New York City's annual bedbug reporting requirement, as evidenced by four consecutive open violations from 2021 to 2024.

The building has also faced serious issues in 2024, including a "Full Stop Work Order" and a violation for occupancy contrary to an active vacate order, with evidence of current habitation including mail, a baby stroller, and interior lights in use. Additionally, there is an active ECB violation from October 2024 related to unauthorized construction work on the second floor, including new framing and drywall work, with a substantial penalty of $12,500 associated with the violation.

Earlier records show some safety concerns with door security in 2018, with emergency complaints and a B-class violation regarding door self-closing mechanisms in the second-floor entrance, though these were subsequently closed. The building has had mixed results in rodent inspections between 2011 and 2016, with several failures noted for unspecified reasons, though most recent inspections (including a compliance inspection in 2016) indicated passing results.
