483 Ralph Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11233

The 2-family house at 483 Ralph Avenue in Crown Heights, owned by 483 Ralph Realty Corp, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues since 2018, with particular concern over recent sanitation and safety compliance. Most notably, there are multiple recent complaints regarding unsanitary conditions related to garbage storage and pest infestations in late 2024, with inspectors unable to access the property to conduct necessary evaluations.

The building has active violations for failure to file external low-pressure inspection reports from 2018 through 2023, indicating potential safety concerns with the building's pressure systems and possible penalties from the Department of Buildings. In 2024, there was also a closed violation related to an illegal key-operated double cylinder lock at the building's metal security gate, which was certified as corrected in September 2024.

Historical records show several other significant issues, including a major concentration of problems in 2020 involving water leak and plumbing issues in the bathtub/shower area that were inspected with no violations found, and a heat and hot water complaint in November 2021 affecting the entire building that inspectors could not access. The building's maintenance history also includes a food establishment complaint from 2018 regarding foreign objects in food, which was addressed and closed. The pattern of complaints, particularly the inaccessible inspection attempts and recurring sanitation issues, suggests ongoing challenges with building maintenance and communication, while the active violations for multiple years of failed inspections indicate potential regulatory compliance concerns.
