480 Gates Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11216

480 Gates Avenue is a 4-story, 8-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1931, currently owned by Impacct Preservation Llc. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, most notably during a significant cluster of complaints in February 2024, when multiple tenants reported problems with both apartment-specific and building-wide heating systems. These emergency complaints were all officially closed, though some required multiple reports to secure inspections.

A more recent heating issue was reported in January 2025, which was resolved shortly thereafter according to HPD records. The building has documented maintenance violations related to door and window conditions, specifically a self-closing door issue in Apartment 4B identified in February 2024, and a paint condition violation in Apartment 3A from late 2023. Notable historical violations include a hot water issue in Apartment 3A from 2020 and a bedbug reporting requirement violation in 2021.

The building's management has maintained consistent rodent control compliance, passing all inspections conducted between 2019 and 2025, indicating effective pest management practices. Bedbug reports from 2019 through 2024 show minimal infestation activity, with just one reported case in 2019 and all subsequent years showing zero infested units. While the building has faced challenges with heating systems and periodic maintenance issues, recent records show improved responsiveness to complaints, with most being addressed within reasonable timeframes. The property has maintained a generally passable record on rodent control and bedbug management, with no infestations reported in the most recent three reporting periods (2022-2025).
