580 Courtlandt Avenue is a 5-story, 10-unit Old Law Tenement building located in the Melrose neighborhood and owned by Salvatore Gigante Jr. The building, constructed in 1920, has experienced recurring maintenance issues in recent years, particularly concerning heat and water systems. Most notably, there have been multiple heat and hot water complaints in both 2021 and 2025, with the most recent complaint in January 2025 resulting in an HPD inspection that could not be completed.

Between August and September 2024, several emergency maintenance issues were reported and investigated, including plumbing problems with the bathtub/shower and radiator, flooring concerns, and mold-related unsanitary conditions, though no violations were issued for most of these complaints. The building has ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly in apartment 4B on the 4th floor, which has multiple open violations as of December 2023. These include issues with windows, cabinets, refrigerator door gasket, peeling paint, and plumbing problems.

A specific violation was issued in September 2024 regarding leaky faucets in the bathroom of apartment 5B. While the building has maintained a bedbug-free status for several years, with no reports of infestation since at least 2019, there was a notable rodent control issue addressed in 2023, with violations documented in December 2023 regarding mouse infestation in apartment 4B, though this was marked as closed in January 2024. The building has shown a pattern of maintenance issues requiring attention, particularly regarding plumbing and heating systems, though many complaints have been addressed without resulting in violations. The property also maintains a record of compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, showing no infestation cases in recent years.
