47 Vanderbilt Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11205

The three-unit, three-story brownstone at 47 Vanderbilt Avenue in Clinton Hill, owned by Andrea Christensen, has experienced several notable maintenance and compliance issues since 2018. The building has faced recurring rodent problems, with reports in 2021 and 2023, though the 2023 inspection by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene found no violations. More concerning were multiple violations in January 2018, including inadequate heat and hot water supply, particularly affecting the third-floor apartment, as well as evidence of rodents throughout the building.

The property has also maintained a consistent record of not filing required annual bedbug reports between 2021 and 2024, though recent filings indicate no infestations or eradications during those periods. Significant construction-related issues emerged in 2019, when multiple violations were filed against Nations Holding Corp for performing work without proper permits, including construction, facade work, electrical, plumbing, and mechanical work across all floors. This led to multiple Environmental Control Board violations in 2019-2020, though these were subsequently resolved with various penalties totaling $10,375.

The building's infrastructure faced serious challenges in 2018, with violations related to heat, hot water, and water supply problems, though these were later addressed. Recent records indicate improved conditions, with successful rodent inspections in 2022 and 2023, and proper bedbug reporting practices being followed, with no reported infestations in the latest 2024 filing. The property has obtained the necessary permits for various works between 2020 and 2022, suggesting improved compliance with building regulations in recent years.
