560A Gates Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221

560A Gates Avenue is a 5-story, 34-unit residential building in Bedford-Stuyvesant, built in 2007 and currently owned by Michael Barton. The property has maintained a relatively stable record over the years, with no reported bedbug infestations since 2017 and consistent passing results in recent rodent inspections (most recently in July 2025).

The building experienced several maintenance issues in early 2022, including complaints about mold, an electric/gas range, and bathtub/shower problems, all of which were investigated by HPD and closed without any violations being issued. Notable violations were recorded for apartment 5B in January 2022, including defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and clogged waste line issues which were subsequently certified as corrected by February 2022. The building has faced some compliance challenges, with recent concerns including an active violation (as of September 2024) for failure to file the 2023 external low-pressure inspection.

Previously, there was a notable elevator-related issue in 2019 regarding single-device service, and in 2024 there was an investigation of illegal after-hours work that resulted in no violations. While the property has generally maintained basic safety standards, as evidenced by passing inspections for rodent control and consistent bedbug reporting showing zero infestations, there have been occasional lapses in timely filing of required safety inspections. The building's management history shows regular addressing of most complaints and violations, though some recent inspection filing requirements have not been met according to the most current records available up to October 2023.
