564 Vanderbilt Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11238
564 Vanderbilt Avenue is an 8-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement building located in Prospect Heights, constructed in 1889 and currently owned by Dennis Geoghan. The building has experienced recurring issues with heating and hot water systems, with the most recent complaint filed in November 2024 being officially documented as an inadequate service situation affecting the entire building. Previous heating system failures have been documented in 2022, 2021, and 2018, suggesting an ongoing pattern of maintenance challenges.
The building has also faced safety concerns, including a smoke detector issue in late 2022 that required inspection by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). More recently, in November 2024, two Class C violations were issued related to defective doors at the boiler room and cellar entrance, though an individual heating violation affecting unit 2R was certified as corrected by December 2024. The building has a documented history of bedbug occurrences, with three incidents reported between 2019 and 2022, though the most recent filings for 2022-2023, 2023-2024, and 2024-2025 show zero infestations.
Rodent activity was identified in early 2018, prompting multiple bait applications, though a compliance inspection in March 2018 resulted in a passing grade. Additional inspection-related violations were noted in 2021, including the need for proper posting of building registration information and gas leak procedures, though these were subsequently closed. The property has also seen complaints regarding the intercom system and door issues in 2019, with access difficulties limiting inspections in some cases. While food establishment-related complaints were filed in 2021, both were marked as addressed through administrative closure.
