482 Gates Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11216

482 Gates Avenue is a 4-story, 8-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Impacct Preservation LLC. The building has experienced several maintenance issues over the past year, most notably a heat and hot water emergency in March 2025, which was resolved promptly but indicates possible ongoing infrastructure concerns.

Between October and November 2024, multiple complaints were filed regarding paint/plaster issues, flooring/stairs problems, plumbing in the bathtub/shower, and unsanitary conditions related to pests - though in all these cases, HPD inspectors were unable to gain access to perform necessary inspections. The building has a history of safety-related violations that were addressed, including an April 2021 violation concerning bedbug reporting compliance (marked as Class A) and several significant violations from October 2018 in apartment 4A, which included issues with window guards, carbon monoxide detector, smoke detector, air conditioner brackets, and self-closing doors - all these violations were subsequently closed.

Recent inspections have been conducted regularly, with the most recent rodent inspections (2025-04-03, 2024-10-04, 2024-04-02, 2023-10-12, 2023-04-04, and others) consistently passing, suggesting effective pest management. The building's bedbug reporting records from 2021 through 2024 show no instances of infestation, with zero units reported as infested or requiring eradication in the past four reporting periods. While the property appears to maintain reasonable pest control standards, the pattern of inspection access issues in 2024 and the recent heat/hot water emergency in 2025 indicate potential concerns with maintenance response protocols.
