911 Gates Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221

911 Gates Avenue is a three-story, three-unit residential building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, constructed in 2004 and currently owned by Abdul Patwary. The building experienced significant maintenance issues in late 2022, with multiple complaints regarding heat and hot water problems (including three separate incidents in December 2022), along with concerns about flooring, electrical outlets, various doors, and appliance issues.

Several of these complaints were marked as 'emergency' status, and while some items showed corrective actions were taken, there were multiple instances where inspectors could not gain access to complete necessary evaluations. The building also faced compliance actions regarding carbon monoxide detector requirements and annual bedbug reporting in 2021-2022, with multiple violations noted during inspections between 2021-2024.

More recently, the building's records show improved maintenance compliance, with no noted bedbug infestations or rodent issues in the past two years, as evidenced by the most recent bedbug report (December 2024) showing zero infested units, and successful rodent inspections in July 2024 and October 2022. However, several open violations remain from the 2021 inspection, including requirements to post proper notices regarding carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detector requirements, gas leak procedures, and housing information guides, as well as issues with self-closing doors at the building entrance and an illegal double-cylinder lock on a yard gate. While the building passed its recent bedbug and rodent inspections, the historical pattern of maintenance issues, particularly around heat/hot water systems and safety equipment, suggests that residents should remain vigilant about building systems and prompt reporting of any new maintenance concerns.
