AI summary · updated June 2026

The four-story, 1880-built brownstone at 603 Vanderbilt Avenue in Prospect Heights, owned by Jeremy Feit, has experienced several significant maintenance and health-related issues over the past five years. Most notably, there is currently an active rodent complaint with the Department of Health (DOHMH) from June 2025, following recent inspections throughout 2023-2025 that have consistently documented rat activity, with the most recent compliance inspection in July 2025 passing. The building has also faced plumbing challenges, including a water supply issue in October 2023 that led to HPD involvement, though no violations were issued. An outstanding violation was noted in June 2023 for failure to file the 2021 external low-pressure inspection. The property has a concerning history of food establishment-related complaints between 2020-2024, primarily focusing on rodent and insect issues as well as permit violations, all of which were administratively closed and reported as addressed.

The building's maintenance record shows attentiveness to pest control, with multiple bait applications in 2023 (July and August) and some inspections passing, though rat activity remains a recurring issue. On a positive note, the building has maintained a bedbug-free status for the past six reporting periods between 2019-2023, with no infested units reported in any of the filings. The property has undergone regular rodent inspections, with the most recent in July 2025 passing, suggesting some degree of ongoing monitoring and response to pest control issues. While the building has faced multiple maintenance challenges over the years, particularly regarding plumbing and pest control, there is evidence of both owner response and regulatory oversight through various city agencies addressing these issues.
