37 Vanderbilt Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11205

The three-story, three-unit building at 37 Vanderbilt Avenue in Clinton Hill, owned by Christopher Bowen, has experienced some recurring issues with heat and hot water systems, most recently in May 2025 when both the 311 Service Request and Housing Maintenance Code Complaint regarding these problems were filed, though inspectors were unable to gain access for verification. This represents the first reported heat/hot water issue in the building's recent history.

The property has maintained an exemplary record regarding bedbug infestations, with six consecutive annual reports (from 2021 to 2026) showing no instances of infestation, eradication, or re-infestation in any dwelling units. Looking further back, the building received a violation notice in April 2021 related to the failure to file the required annual bedbug report, though this appears to have been resolved given the subsequent compliant filings through the present date.

Across the various bedbug reporting periods (2019-2020 through 2023-2024), the building has consistently demonstrated diligence in reporting requirements, with all reports showing zero infestation activity. While the recent heat/hot water complaints warrant attention, it's worth noting that these systems often require multiple service attempts to fully resolve issues, and inspectors' inability to access units for verification may not necessarily indicate a persistent problem.
