589 Vanderbilt Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11238

589 Vanderbilt Avenue is a 4-story, 3-unit residential building constructed in 1880 and currently owned by Harvey Elgart. The property has undergone several inspections and faced various compliance requirements over the past few years, with the most recent bedbug report (dated May 2025) confirming zero infested or re-infested units. The building has maintained consistent rodent inspection passes from 2018 through 2025, though there were indications of rodent activity requiring bait applications in 2014.

The building's violation history shows regular requirements to file annual bedbug reports from 2021 through 2023, with the most recent Housing Maintenance Code violation issued in 2023. The building has experienced several service requests and complaints, particularly in 2019, including issues with garbage storage (HPD) and construction-related dust (DOHMH), though many of these were either closed without inspection or deemed unsubstantiated. The Department of Buildings has conducted multiple inspections related to various complaints between 2019 and 2020, including Local Law 188/17 compliance and tenant safety inspections, all of which found no violations at the time of inspection.

Four permits were issued in 2019, primarily for emergency work, with issuance dates between February and August 2019. A notable cluster of complaints in August 2019 related to access issues for inspections and work contrary to stop work orders, but these were not substantiated based on department records. The property has generally demonstrated good maintenance practices in recent years, with no major recurring issues reported since 2021, though there remains one active violation from June 2022 with unspecified details.
