417 Gates Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11216

417 Gates Avenue is a 4-story, 8-unit residential building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Henry Ventura and constructed in 2015. The building has experienced several significant safety-related incidents, most notably in October 2019 when multiple violations were recorded for apartment 2F, including missing smoke detectors, defective self-closing doors, non-compliant window guards, and missing carbon monoxide detectors. A window guard safety complaint from September 2019 also resulted in violations.

More recent inspection history shows consistent compliance with rodent control requirements, having passed all rodent inspections from 2021 through 2025. The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with all six annual bedbug reports from 2019 through 2024 showing zero infested or eradicated units, and most recent reports in 2024-2025 confirming no infestation history in the past year. The building's violation history shows periodic issues requiring attention, particularly in 2019 when several safety features needed correction in apartment 2F.

However, all cited violations from 2019 have been resolved. The property has undergone regular rodent inspections, passing each one, and has maintained an active bedbug reporting system showing compliance with NYC regulations. The most recent housing maintenance code violations from 2021-2022 primarily related to bedbug reporting requirements, though these do not appear to have persisted through subsequent years. While the building experienced safety-related violations shortly after construction, there have been no reported safety violations in recent years, and the property currently appears to meet current safety and maintenance standards as evidenced by the regular pass rates in recent inspections.
