99 Vandalia Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11239

99 Vandalia Avenue is a 12-story, 121-unit residential building in East New York, constructed in 1995 and currently operating under a Temporary Certificate of Occupancy. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues during 2025, with multiple complaints filed in January through April 2025, including instances where HPD was unable to gain access to inspect the problem. Prior to these recent issues, there was a significant pest problem documented between 2020-2021, with multiple violations for roaches, bedbugs, and mice infestations affecting apartments 3G, 12G, and 11B.

The building's maintenance history reveals ongoing challenges with bedbug management, as evidenced by five annual Bedbug Reports from 2019 through 2025, showing varying numbers of infested units ranging from 2 to 11. The property has maintained compliance with various housing maintenance codes, though there are two current open Class B violations from 2020 on record: one for bedbug infestation in apartment 12G and another for defective plastered surfaces in the same unit. The building's elevator systems have been the subject of numerous complaints between 2019-2020, though inspections consistently found no violations warranting enforcement action. Historical records show some rodent activity in earlier years, with inspections in 2010 (failed for rat activity) and 2012 (passed).

Most recent inspections in 2023 resulted in an annual bedbug report filing showing 2 infested units, though it also indicates successful eradication of previous infestations. The extensive history of heat, pest, and maintenance complaints suggests persistent challenges with building systems and resident comfort, particularly regarding temperature control and pest management. While some issues appear to be resolved when re-inspected, the recurring nature of these problems indicates ongoing maintenance concerns. Recent heat and hot water complaints in 2025 represent the most current building condition challenges, though detailed violation information can be found on the NYC HPD website.
