Augrented Insights Report for 587 Gates Avenue

587 Gates Avenue is a four-story, 8-unit residential building in Bedford-Stuyvesant, built in 1910, currently owned by Herminio Torres. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, particularly in 2025, with multiple unannounced HPD inspections attempted for various problems including appliance malfunction (refrigerator), water leaks, wall issues (paint/plaster), and unsanitary conditions (pests).

Between February and April 2025, there were multiple complaints regarding heat and hot water outages affecting the entire building, some of which were marked as emergencies, though reports indicated these services were restored by the time of inspection. The building underwent a notable vacate order situation in early 2024, which was eventually rescinded in September 2024, though during this period, violations were issued for several issues in Apartment 3B including problems with self-closing doors, hallway lighting, kitchen cabinet repairs, and plaster/paint maintenance. Earlier records from 2023 show concerns about structural integrity and fire/smoke damage which led to a vacate order, but documents indicate these conditions were eventually resolved.

The property has maintained a good record regarding bedbug infestations, with reports showing zero incidents from 2021 through 2024. Recent inspections in 2024 showed the building passing rodent inspections, indicating improved pest management. The owner has received several violation notices requiring correction of various building maintenance issues, particularly related to emergency repairs and compliance with housing maintenance codes, though many of these violations have been marked as "closed" following required corrections.
