970A Gates Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221
The 2-story, 8-unit residential building at 970A Gates Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, currently owned by Solomon Weiss, has been in operation since 1899 and recently underwent significant renovations in 2018-2019, as evidenced by multiple permitted construction activities including plumbing (PL), electrical (EQ), and general alteration (AL) work. The building has maintained a consistent record of proper bedbug reporting compliance from 2021 through 2025, showing zero infestation cases in the past four reporting periods, with the most recent inspection in July 2024 passing for rodent control as well.
Historical records indicate several Housing Maintenance Code violations between 2016-2020 related to safety notices and inspection certificate postings, all of which were properly addressed and certified as resolved. More recent patterns show recurring Annual Bedbug Report violations from 2021-2024, though these appear to be administrative in nature rather than indicating actual infestation issues.
The building experienced two complaints in 2018-2019 regarding safety concerns during construction work, resulting in violations for inadequate overhead protection and roof protection, both of which were resolved with imposed penalties. Despite these past violations, the property has demonstrated good regulatory compliance in recent years, with no significant safety or maintenance issues recorded since 2020, and has successfully maintained all required safety systems and reporting requirements. The most recent bedbug report filed in June 2025 for the period ending October 2024 shows no infestations or treatment requirements, continuing the building's recent history of pest control success.
