817 Gates Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221

The three-unit residential building at 817 Gates Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Matt Mulakandov, has experienced recurring pest-related issues throughout 2025, with three separate complaints about unsanitary conditions involving pests (April, March, and June). All three complaints went unresolved due to inspection access issues, with HPD recommending re-filing if the conditions persisted.

The building has a documented history of bedbug reporting violations from 2021 to 2024, with a similar pattern of non-compliance, receiving Class A violations for failing to file annual bedbug reports as required under Housing Maintenance Code regulations. Despite these violations, more recent records from 2025 show no reported infested dwelling units for the current reporting period (2023-2024). The building's infrastructure appears generally sound, with no recent major plumbing issues; a water supply complaint from 2019 was closed without resolution due to access issues.

Encouragingly, recent rodent inspections passed in 2022 and 2024, suggesting improved pest management in certain areas. The building, constructed in 2005, has maintained its three-story configuration and retains its Class A building designation. While the absence of reported bedbug infestations in the most recent filing period is notable, the persistent access issues encountered by inspectors and multiple unsanitary condition complaints in 2025 warrant attention, though these are classified as non-emergency situations under Housing Maintenance Code guidelines.
