468 9th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215

Situated in South Slope, 468 9th Street is a 3-story, 4-unit Class A apartment building that dates back to 1882, currently owned by Frank Ring. The building's most significant recent issue occurred in May 2020, when there was a reported heat and hot water outage affecting the apartments, though this was resolved within 24 hours according to HPD. Following this incident, multiple violations were documented during an inspection on May 28, 2020, including several concerning safety and maintenance protocols.

These violations involved deficiencies in posting required safety notices (for smoke detectors, carbon monoxide devices, and gas leak procedures), maintaining self-closing doors at the building and vestibule entrances, and repairing fire-retardant materials on the second-story east wall. All of these violations were eventually closed, as were the housing maintenance code violations. The building's recent history shows a consistent pattern of no bedbug infestations, with the most recent annual filing (December 2024) confirming zero affected units for the period between November 2023 and October 2024.

Previous annual reports dating back to 2020 also show no incidents of infestation or re-infestation, indicating effective pest management practices in the building. While the 2020 heat and hot water issue was a notable service disruption, it appears to have been an isolated incident, and there have been no further documented heating system problems in subsequent years. The property has maintained regular compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, consistently showing no infestations during the reporting periods.
