1332 Gates Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221

The three-unit residential building at 1332 Gates Avenue in Bushwick, owned by Gloria Cumbe and constructed in 2004, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety events over the past decade. Most recently, in March 2025, the building passed its rodent inspection, which followed a pattern of successful inspections in 2024 and 2022. The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with annual reports from 2022-2025 showing zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units.

However, there have been some concerning incidents, including a heat and hot water emergency affecting the entire building in October 2021, which ended without building access for inspection, and multiple reports of broken/missing window guards in January 2019, though no violations were issued following inspections. The building has been subject to several administrative violations and complaints. Three consecutive annual violations from 2021 to 2023 were issued regarding failure to file the required annual bedbug report, classified as Class A violations.

In 2021, there were complaints regarding unpermitted work in an occupied multiple dwelling, though inspections on the same day found no violations. A notable incident occurred in January 2022 involving an illegally cut sidewalk curb for off-street parking, which resulted in a resolved ECB violation with a $655 penalty. While the building's recent inspection history shows improvement in terms of pest control and compliance, the history of heating system issues and the lack of access during the 2021 inspection warrant attention.
