347A Gates Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11216

The three-unit, two-story building at 347A Gates Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Williemae Williams, has exhibited a concerning pattern of bedbug report violations over the past four years, with open violations recorded in 2024, 2023, 2022, and 2021, all related to failure to file the required annual bedbug reports per Housing Maintenance Code requirements. While these violations are administrative in nature, they suggest ongoing challenges with compliance to housing regulations.

In terms of pest control, the building has undergone multiple rodent inspections with consistently passing results from 2022 through mid-2025, including three inspections in 2024-2025 that passed. However, there were two significant rodent-related incidents: a "Rat Activity" finding in December 2020 and a "Failed for Other Reasons" result in July 2021, indicating past rodent control issues that appear to have been resolved, given the subsequent record of passing inspections. The building has maintained compliance with state-mandated annual rodent inspections over the past several years, with twelve consecutive passing inspections since the December 2020 rat activity incident.

The most recent rodent inspection in June 2025 also received a passing result. It is worth noting that while the building's rodent conditions appear to have stabilized with consistent passing rates, the recurring bedbug report violations indicate an ongoing regulatory compliance issue that has persisted since 2021. The property, built in 1901 and classified as a "HEREAFTER CONVERTED CLASS A" building, has demonstrated general maintenance of rodent control standards through regular inspections, though the pattern of bedbug report violations suggests there may be challenges with maintaining complete compliance with all housing maintenance requirements.
