968 Gates Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221

The 2-family house at 968 Gates Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by 968 Gates Ave LLC, is an 8-unit, 2-story building constructed in 1899. The property has experienced several notable incidents over the past several years.

Most recently, in April 2025, there was a rodent-related complaint filed with the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, though the inspection found no violations and the property passed. In 2019, there were multiple inspections related to Construction Safety Compliance (CSE) sweeps, and one notable incident involving a Construction Safety Compliance Action on March 13, 2019, which resulted in a Stop Work Order that was fully rescinded in April of that year. Another construction-related complaint in November 2018 required enforcement work, but the inspector was unable to gain access after two final attempts.

On a positive note, the building has maintained a clean record with respect to bedbug infestations, with reports in 2024 and 2025 indicating zero affected units. The 2024 filing covered the period from November 2022 to October 2023, and the most recent 2025 filing covered November 2023 to October 2024, both showing no infested, eradicated, or re-infested units. While the building has had some construction-related issues in the past, particularly in 2018-2019, and the recent rodent complaint, the property has generally demonstrated good maintenance practices and has been proactive in addressing health and safety inspections.
