481 Vandalia Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11239

481 Vandalia Avenue is a 4-story, 8-unit residential building located in East New York, completed in 2018 and owned by Ferandria Garrett. The building has experienced several maintenance issues since its construction, with records showing multiple complaints filed on August 20, 2021, regarding plumbing problems (specifically related to a bathtub/shower), paint/plaster issues on walls, door-related concerns, and a significant water leak with heavy flow.

All these complaints were categorized as either emergency or non-emergency situations but were resolved and closed within three days of being reported. The property has also had recurring violations related to bedbug reporting requirements in 2021, 2022, and 2023, with the most recent violation recorded on March 31, 2023, under housing maintenance code (HMC) regulations.

However, the building's bedbug reports from 2020 through 2025 have consistently shown zero infested dwelling units, indicating effective pest management once the reporting compliance issues were addressed. During its construction period, there was one complaint regarding sustainability enforcement in 2019, though no violations were found. The building's permits and construction documentation show standard progress, with multiple permits issued in late 2018 and early 2019, including new building (NB), equipment (EQ), and plumbing (PL) permits, all of which were properly issued and completed.
