1505 Gates Avenue is a three-story, six-unit residential building located in Bushwick, Brooklyn, built in 1931 and currently owned by Abraham Herman. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years, with the most recent cluster of complaints in July 2024 involving problems with a door frame, refrigerator, unsanitary conditions potentially related to pests, a water leak/damp spot, and ventilation system concerns. Notably, HPD was unable to gain access to investigate these July 2024 complaints.
The building has a documented history of water-related issues, demonstrated by multiple water leak complaints, including one from September 2022 and another in February 2021 related to heat/hot water systems. In 2019, there were serious concerns about maintenance violations in apartment 3R, including issues with leaks, mold, and problems with ceilings requiring repairs. The property underwent some unauthorized construction activity in late 2018/early 2019, resulting in multiple Department of Buildings (DOB) violations related to work without permits and building code violations regarding egress and height requirements, though these violations were eventually resolved.
The building has maintained a positive rodent control record in recent years, with all inspections between 2022 and 2025 passing. The bedbug reporting history from 2021-2024 shows consistently zero infestation reports. While the building has had various maintenance issues over the years, including heat/hot water problems in 2021 and 2022, many violations and complaints have been addressed and closed by the respective agencies.
