416 Gates Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11216

The six-story, 44-unit residential building at 416 Gates Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Gates Ave Holdings LLC, has experienced several notable issues since its construction in 2020. Most significantly, there have been multiple water-related problems documented between 2022 and 2024, with three emergency "heavy flow" water leak complaints in early 2024 being particularly concerning, though none of these complaints resulted in any housing violations.

Additionally, in late 2023, the building had a mold-related complaint classified as an unsanitary condition, which was also closed without violations being issued. The building's construction phase (2020-2021) was marked by several Department of Buildings complaints, including two instances in October 2021 where work was ordered to be stopped due to superintendent withdrawal, though these violations were ultimately dismissed.

Earlier construction-related issues included a June 2021 site conditions complaint regarding worker safety, which resulted in an Oath Violation. Notably, the building has maintained a clean record with respect to bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in the annual reporting periods from 2021 through 2024. While the property has experienced recurring maintenance issues, particularly with water-related problems, the absence of violations from these complaints suggests that the building management has generally addressed issues as they arise, though there have been occasions when HPD inspectors were unable to gain access to verify complaints.
