521 Gates Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11216
The three-unit, three-story residential building at 521 Gates Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Adam Wissing, has a long history dating back to 1899. The property has experienced persistent rodent issues over the past two years, with multiple inspections in 2024 and 2025 consistently showing rat activity.
Most recently, in April 2025, both initial and compliance inspections confirmed ongoing rodent presence. Bait was applied in response to these findings during late 2023 and throughout 2024, though rat activity remained evident in subsequent inspections.
It's worth noting that while there were multiple violations concerning the annual bedbug reporting requirement between 2021 and 2024, the most recent bedbug report filed in May 2025 shows no infested units, with the property having passed all subsequent inspections under this category. A rat sighting complaint in March 2023 led to a Department of Health inspection which found only minor violations. The building's recent history suggests continuing challenges with pest management, particularly regarding rodents, despite efforts to address the issues through baiting and inspections.
