914 Gates Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221

914 Gates Avenue is a 4-story, 12-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant and owned by Kevin Alter. The 1931 structure has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with three emergency service requests in 2024-2025 (March, February, and December) regarding heating problems in the entire building, though inspections were either denied access or confirmed restoration. The building has ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly evident in multiple uninspected complaints from 2024 including issues with cabinets, pests, wall conditions, and water leaks.

The property has documented plumbing and maintenance violations, particularly in apartment 2B, where issues with water leaks, floor and tile defects, and plaster damage have been noted between 2022 and 2024. Additional building-wide concerns include a January 2024 complaint about vibration or structural stability, which was investigated and found to warrant no violation. The building's maintenance history shows a mix of resolved and ongoing issues, with rodent inspections revealing previous rat activity (2022-2023) and a passed inspection in July 2024.

Bedbug reporting has consistently shown zero infested units between 2021 and 2024, indicating successful management of this particular pest issue. The property experienced multiple housing maintenance code violations in 2022-2023, including problems with floors, ceilings, walls, and plumbing fixtures, though many of these have either been resolved or are in various stages of compliance. The building's age and maintenance history suggest a need for continued attention to basic infrastructure systems, particularly heating and plumbing, while recent bedbug reports and rodent inspections indicate improved pest management practices.
