Augrented Insights Report for 42 Vanderbilt Avenue

42 Vanderbilt Avenue is an 8-story, 98-unit Class A apartment building constructed in 2009 and currently managed by Yvonne Cummings. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues in recent months, with multiple complaints and violations related to unsanitary conditions, including mold and pest infestations, most notably during mid-2025. Between May and June 2025, there were multiple service requests regarding unsanitary conditions, including complaints about garbage/recycling storage and various sanitation issues.

The building has also faced elevator maintenance challenges, with several violations and complaints documented between 2023-2025, including active ECB violations related to elevator testing and service requirements in 2024. The most recent HMC violations, recorded in June 2025, included issues with doors/windows, molds, paint/plaster, general maintenance, and plumbing. A significant concern is the open complaint regarding the building facade from March 2025, which remains active.

While the building has successfully maintained a bedbug-free status from 2019 through 2025, rodent inspections have shown consistent compliance with health standards. The property has a documented history of unsanitary conditions requiring attention, along with periodic violations related to fire safety equipment and elevator maintenance. Recent inspections in 2024-2025 have resulted in both emergency and non-emergency violations, with some cases requiring further correction and inspection follow-up.
