474 Ralph Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11233
The 4-story, 3-unit tenement building at 474 Ralph Avenue in Crown Heights, owned by Wendy McClinton, has experienced several maintenance issues over recent years, with the most significant problems occurring in 2023-2024. Currently, there are open Class A violations related to bedbug reporting requirements and multiple issues in the 3rd-story public hall including water leaks, defective fire retardant materials, and painting requirements that were documented in November 2023. The building has also had recurring heating issues, with a heat/hot water complaint filed in November 2023, though no violations were issued following the HPD's investigation.
Previous complaints include a 2022 fire escape safety violation, pest problems in February 2022, and appliance issues in January 2023, all of which were eventually closed. The property has an active violation as of September 2024 regarding the failure to file the 2023 external low-pressure inspection, indicating a potential safety compliance issue. There have been persistent rodent control issues, with open violations from November 2022 specifically citing mouse and roach infestations in unit 2A.
While the building's management has filed annual bedbug reports showing no documented infestations from 2019 through 2023, the most recent inspection in April 2024 revealed an open violation for failure to file the 2023 report. Historical records show mixed results with rodent inspections, including both passed and failed inspections between 2010 and 2016. The building's maintenance history reflects ongoing challenges with basic services and infrastructure maintenance, particularly in common areas.
