Augrented Insights Report for 1493 Gates Avenue

1493 Gates Avenue is a three-story, six-unit residential building constructed in 1931 in Bushwick, currently owned by Joseph Schwartz. The building has experienced consistent maintenance challenges, particularly in 2024, with multiple emergency complaints regarding plumbing and heating issues in October, and various maintenance concerns such as flooring, door/window problems, and appliance issues throughout the year.

Notable building violations include a broken skylight, poor ceiling conditions, and fire escape issues in the public hall documented in October 2024, along with several violations in Apartment 1L related to safety features and water damage from June 2024. The building has a history of regulatory scrutiny, with multiple Department of Buildings complaints about illegal conversions between 2019-2024 and violations for construction beyond approved plans in 2022, though many inspection attempts resulted in inability to gain access. The property has faced persistent pest management challenges, as evidenced by ongoing rat activity noted in multiple inspections between 2022-2025, though a compliance inspection in March 2025 showed no current issues.

While there have been no documented bedbug infestations in the past six reporting periods (2019-2024), the building's maintenance record suggests ongoing upkeep challenges. Recent building permits for plumbing work were issued in 2019 and 2020, though there is an active violation from 2023 regarding the failure to file external low-pressure inspection results. Despite these numerous issues, the most recent rodent inspection in March 2025 passed, indicating some improvement in pest management.
