468 Ralph Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11233

468 Ralph Avenue is a 6-unit, 3-story New Law tenement building built in 1910 in Crown Heights, currently owned by Christopher Odogbili. The building has experienced a series of maintenance issues over recent years, with the most recent cluster of problems documented in January 2025, including water leaks, plumbing issues, electrical problems, and multiple reports of unsanitary conditions involving mold. A February 2024 inspection revealed significant violations in apartment 1L, including missing carbon monoxide detectors, a roach infestation, gas supply issues to the kitchen range, and hot water exceeding 130 degrees.

Prior to this, the building had documented issues with electric power outages, window safety, appliances, and pests in 2022-2021, including a lead paint hazard and various electrical and structural problems noted in apartment 3R during a June 2022 inspection. The building's violation history shows a pattern of various maintenance issues requiring attention over the years, though many have been subsequently closed. Recent bedbug reports from 2022-2025 indicate no infestations, and rodent inspections from 2017 to 2020 show variable results, with the most recent inspections in 2020 showing bait application.

The property has maintained regular bedbug reporting compliance, with no documented cases of infestation in any reporting periods. A DOB permit related to electrical work was issued in February 2021. While some historical violations have been resolved, the building continues to experience recurring maintenance challenges, particularly in the areas of plumbing, electrical systems, and pest management.
