568 Vanderbilt Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11238
568 Vanderbilt Avenue is a 4-unit, 4-story residential building located in Prospect Heights, constructed in 1887 and currently owned by Abul Khair. The building has experienced recurring heating and hot water issues throughout early 2025, with multiple complaints filed between January and March 2025, though most complaints were closed due to inspection access issues.
More concerning is the building's current status with open Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2022-2024 related to failed annual bedbug report filings, and various building safety issues documented in 2021 including problems with self-closing doors, window air conditioner support brackets, and accumulation of refuse. The Department of Buildings has issued active violations in 2023-2024 for failure to file external low pressure inspections, indicating potential maintenance neglect. The property has a documented history of maintenance and safety concerns, including two active ECB violations from 2022 regarding kitchen ventilation systems installed too close to neighboring windows, though both were issued penalties.
Several Department of Buildings complaints from 2019 to 2024 were filed regarding unpermitted work and construction issues, though inspections typically found no violations. While the building's rodent inspections in 2015 and 2018 passed, there were some temporary rat activity issues noted in 2015, and the building has had multiple emergency heat/hot water complaints as recently as 2025. The property has undergone several permitted work projects between 2018-2021, with permits issued for both plumbing and electrical work.
