570 Vanderbilt Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11238

570 Vanderbilt Avenue is a four-story, six-unit OLD LAW TENEMENT building located in Prospect Heights, constructed in 1887 and currently owned by Antone Hernton. The building has experienced recurring heating and plumbing issues, most notably a heat/hot water outage affecting the entire building and radiator problems in March 2025, both of which were classified as emergency situations by HPD.

Despite these recent issues, the building has maintained a clean bedbug record over the past several years, with all bedbug reports (most recently filed in May 2025) showing zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units. However, the property has documented rat activity in multiple inspections, with the most recent inspections in April and May 2025 showing rodent presence. The building has undergone several regulatory inspections and responded to various complaints between 2021 and 2025, including three Department of Buildings complaints in 2021 that found no violations regarding work without a permit, special operations compliance, and tenant safety.

Two food establishment complaints were recorded in 2023-2024 related to rodents/insects/garbage and pet/animal issues, though these were not directly related to the residential units. A Housing Maintenance Code violation was issued in March 2023 regarding the failure to file an annual bedbug report, though this appears to have been resolved as subsequent filings show compliance. The property’s maintenance history shows a mix of compliance and recurring issues, particularly with heating systems and rodent presence, while the bedbug management program demonstrates consistent adherence to reporting requirements since 2021.
