Augrented Insights Report for 550 Vanderbilt Avenue

550 Vanderbilt Avenue, a new 18-story residential building completed in 2015 in Prospect Heights, contains 278 units and is currently owned by Karen Willenken. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with the most recent outage occurring in January 2025 affecting the entire building. These outages are part of a documented pattern, with similar complaints recorded in 2020 and earlier.

The property has also faced ongoing rodent control challenges, with multiple inspections between 2023 and 2025 consistently showing rat activity, though recent inspections in 2024-2025 indicated bait application efforts. The building has undergone several health and safety inspections, including Local Law 188/17 compliance checks in 2023, which resulted in no violations. The elevator system has been a recurring focus, with multiple inspections between 2018-2020 revealing various maintenance issues that required attention.

Environmental Control Board violations from 2020 specifically cited elevator-related concerns, including inoperative alarm buttons and hoist rope issues, though these were resolved with imposed penalties. The property has maintained a clean bedbug record, with official reports from 2019-2024 showing zero infested or re-infested units. Recent food establishment inspections in 2024-2025 have addressed various compliance issues, though the specific nature of these was not detailed in the records.
