Augrented Insights Report for 471 Vanderbilt Avenue

The four-story, 26-unit New Law Tenement at 471 Vanderbilt Avenue in Clinton Hill, owned by Lenette Vargas and constructed in 1930, has experienced persistent maintenance challenges in recent years. As of May 2025, the building is dealing with multiple unresolved issues, including ongoing rodent problems and construction lead dust in common areas. The property has a history of elevator service deficiencies, with multiple complaints filed between 2022 and 2024 regarding lack of alternate service and maintenance issues, though some complaints were dismissed upon inspection.

Recent structural concerns include a 2024 violation for building maintenance failure, citing step cracks, window defects, and spalling masonry on various elevations. The building has also faced several housing maintenance code violations, particularly related to paint/plaster issues across different walls and ceilings, and electrical problems with outlets/switches. The property has undergone periodic inspections for rats, with the most recent indicating active rat problems in 2025.

While the building has maintained a zero-reporting record for bedbugs since 2022, there have been significant maintenance issues documented, including three complaints about unsanitary conditions (pests) in 2025 and 2024, and a notable heat/hot water outage affecting the entire building in late 2024. Multiple failed inspections regarding rodent activity were recorded between 2011 and 2015, suggesting a longstanding pest control challenge. The building has also generated several Department of Buildings complaints regarding failure to maintain building systems and various environmental control board violations, with active penalties relating to building maintenance requirements.
