461 Gates Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11216

The three-story, two-family house at 461 Gates Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Brooklyn Housing Preservation Lp, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over the past few years. Most recently, in December 2024, the building faced heating and hot water problems in Apartment A that were deemed Class C violations, though these were certified as corrected by late February 2025.

The building has a documented history of various maintenance complaints from 2021, including issues with water leaks, window frames, ceiling paint/plaster, and an electric/gas range, though some of these complaints could not be inspected due to access issues. While the building has had multiple emergency complaints, it's worth noting that all rodent inspections conducted since 2020 have passed successfully, suggesting good management of pest control. The property has maintained a consistent record of passing bedbug inspections between 2019 and 2024, showing zero infestation reports during these periods.

A review of building permits shows multiple "Emergency Work" permits issued in 2020 and 2021, indicating there have been urgent repairs needed in the past. The most recent set of housing maintenance issues in 2024-2025 primarily focused on heating and hot water systems, which are critical for resident comfort. Although the building has experienced various maintenance challenges, including heating issues, water leaks, and appliance concerns, the prompt issuance of violations and subsequent corrections suggests the ownership has generally responded to regulatory requirements, though there have been access issues that complicated some inspections.
