924 Ralph Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11236

The two-family house at 924 Ralph Avenue in East Flatbush, owned by Valerie Lynchbenjamin, has faced several significant maintenance issues, particularly during 2021-2022 when multiple emergencies were reported and subsequently addressed. Notable concerns in the summer of 2022 included water-related problems, with both slow and heavy leaks reported, as well as multiple unsanitary conditions involving sewage and mold.

These issues led to inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), resulting in violations that required repairs to plastered surfaces, ceiling issues, and the presence of pests including mice and roaches in the ground floor apartment. The property also experienced complications with heating and hot water systems in late 2021, and a cooking gas issue was reported in December 2021.

Several violations were documented following a July 2022 inspection, including concerns about lead-based paint hazards, though most subsequent violations were certified as corrected by September 2022. While many of these issues have been officially closed, the building's record shows a pattern of maintenance concerns that primarily affected the ground floor apartment, particularly relating to water problems, sanitation issues, and general upkeep requirements.
