Augrented Insights Report for 659 Vanderbilt Avenue

The three-story, three-unit building at 659 Vanderbilt Avenue in Prospect Heights, owned by M&A LLC and constructed in 1909, has experienced several notable challenges regarding building maintenance and food establishment operations over recent years. Most concerning are the open Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2021-2024 regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports, which raise questions about pest control compliance. The building has also faced recurring food safety issues, particularly in 2024, with multiple Department of Health complaints regarding food handling practices, including bare hands contact with food and food temperature violations.

These complaints followed earlier incidents from 2022-2024 involving pests and sanitation concerns in food establishment operations. The property's history includes several active Environmental Control Board violations related to a ground floor food establishment, including failure to comply with previous orders and various safety concerns, with penalties totaling $4,155. Record-keeping indicates a boiler-related complaint in 2019 that resulted in an Oath Violation.

While recent rodent inspections from 2022 to 2025 show most results as "Passed," there were some periods of concern in 2022, including reports of rat activity and bait application. The building has maintained a valid permit (Job #320458517) issued in 2019 for renovations, though there were previously noted issues with an expired permit related to restaurant construction. Recent inspections have generally shown improvement in rodent control and food safety compliance, with most recent complaints being administratively closed after investigation, though many violations remain open as of April 2024.
