Augrented Insights Report for 499 Vanderbilt Avenue

The 499 Vanderbilt Avenue building, a 7-story, 14-unit Class A residential structure built in 2012, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues under the ownership of Lovell Yang. Recent concerns include recurring mold problems in 2024, with violations issued in both June and October, and ongoing door-related issues, most notably involving the entrance door in apartment 5B, which has multiple violations including defective self-closing mechanisms and frame problems.

There have also been multiple heat and hot water complaints in late 2023 and early 2024. The building has a history of rodent issues, with identified rat activity in inspections from 2025 and 2022, though recent bedbug reports show no infestations.

The property faced structural concerns in 2018, with two complaints about building shaking and stability issues, which resulted in Oath Violations. There are also historical concerns regarding the building's exterior maintenance and compliance with safety requirements, evidenced by the 2024 Environmental Control Board violation for failure to submit required exterior wall inspection reports, and several past violations related to balcony maintenance and building appurtenances. The building's management has generally addressed violations when cited, though several ongoing issues remain, particularly related to mold, door functionality, and heat/hot water systems.
