556 Gates Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221
556 Gates Avenue is a four-story, eight-unit New Law tenement building constructed in 1931, currently owned by Tal Shlomi, located in the Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood of Brooklyn.
The building has maintained a consistent record of bedbug reporting compliance over the past five years, with all five annual reports (from 2020-2021 through 2024-2025) indicating zero infested or exterminated units, suggesting effective management of this potential issue.
However, there have been two noteworthy rodent-related inspections: while the building passed inspections in 2022 and 2024, the most recent inspection in July 2025 recorded rat activity, marking a concerning new development regarding pest control in the building. The building also experienced two Housing Maintenance Code violations related to bedbug reporting requirements in 2021 and 2024, though these appear to have been resolved based on subsequent compliance, with the most recent report having been filed in January 2025.
