560 Vanderbilt Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11238

The 4-story, 6-unit Old Law Tenement building at 560 Vanderbilt Avenue in Prospect Heights, owned by Sam Brown and constructed in 1889, has experienced persistent heating system issues over the past two years, with six documented heat and hot water complaints between February 2023 and December 2024. Most recently, these problems affected both individual apartments and the entire building, though each incident was resolved promptly, often with tenant confirmation of restoration.

The building reported one bedbug incident in the 2023-2024 reporting period, with the affected unit reportedly eradicated, while previous years showed no infestations. Between 2019 and 2021, the building had two documented instances of bedbugs, both promptly addressed.

The Department of Buildings records show one certificate of occupancy complaint from March 2022, though inspectors were unable to gain access, and a violation issued in January 2022 was dismissed by October 2022. A rodent inspection conducted in February 2018 resulted in a passing grade, indicating no rodent problems at that time. While the heating issues are noteworthy, the building has maintained compliance with most other health and safety requirements, with prompt resolution of reported problems.
