Dupe’s ‘I’ll do it again’

He’s a mogul in his own mind!

The blind vagrant who landed in jail last week for trying to steal a Brooklyn building from a man with the same exact name will likely use the ruse again.

Ralph Baker, 63, would use 46-year-old Ralph Baker’s Fort Greene building again as collateral to spring himself from the slammer.

“I’ll probably do it again — put my buildings up again,” the elder Baker told The Post on Rikers Island yesterday.

Baker, who describes himself as something of a Brooklyn real estate maven, said he’d also put up a Williamsburg building — where he was arrested in 2012 for trespassing — as collateral, claiming the previous owner gave it to him. He and the owner of 140 Metropolitan Ave. were friendly from his years collecting scrap metal in Williamsburg, Baker claimed.

“I built that property up for ten years,” he explained. “They say I’m a squatter, but“It’s mine, no matter what they say,” he said.

Baker conceded he might have trouble posting bail this time around because he doesn’t own a state ID.

“I can’t get a state ID because of the stigma against me: crazy, blind homeless man,” he said. “I have to go to the law library and read about my options.”

He contends he is not homeless but said he’s spent time in psychiatric facilities more than once.

A pal, Kevin Hughes, backed up his story, noting that Baker was given permission to use the building by the ownerand renovated it for artists in the 90s.

“The man’s not crazy,” Hughes said. “Ralph built that place out.”

After his 2012 arrest, Baker convinced bail bondsman Ira Judelson into believing he owned the building and accepting it as collateral.

Judelson only required that he fork over a copy of the deed and his social security number, according to Baker, who added he heard about the bondsman through a fellow inmate.

Hughes said he delivered those documents to Judelson, who had his attorney inspect and okay their use.

“Judelson’s attorney agreed that it was safe to put the lien on 112 South Elliott,” he said.
