478 Gates Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11216
The three-story, three-unit building at 478 Gates Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Doris Mcgill, has a noteworthy history of housing maintenance code violations over the past four years, particularly concerning bedbug reporting compliance. The building, constructed in 1899, has received four Open Class A violations between 2021 and 2024 specifically related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD regulations - these violations remain unresolved as of April 2025.
Despite these ongoing documentation issues, the property has consistently passed multiple rodent inspections, demonstrating maintenance of basic sanitation standards. Records indicate successful rodent inspections in October 2019 through April 2025, with no failed inspections during this period.
The juxtaposition of these two sets of inspection results suggests the building maintains a relatively pest-free environment while struggling with regulatory compliance on bedbug reporting requirements. These violations have persisted for an unusually long duration, with the most recent Open violations dating from 2022, 2023, and 2024 remaining unresolved as of the latest available data in 2025.
