1536 Gates Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11237
1536 Gates Avenue is a three-story, four-unit residential building constructed in 1931, currently owned by Irene Li. The property has experienced several notable maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most recent concerns focused on a plaster wall issue reported in June 2025 and a heat/hot water problem in January 2025, though no violations were issued in either case. The building has a significant number of active violations related to external low-pressure inspection filings between 2019 and 2024, which have not been resolved as of the latest available data.
Previous inspection records from 2021 show multiple problems, including plumbing issues affecting various fixtures (toilets, sinks, radiators), ceiling and wall conditions, and unsanitary mold concerns, though no violations were ultimately issued for these complaints. The property has demonstrated generally good pest control management, with recent bedbug reports for 2023-2024 showing no infestation, following a similar pattern in 2022-2023. Rodent inspections have mostly passed, with only one noted instance of rat activity in August 2022.
Safety concerns were documented in early 2021 regarding fire safety equipment and egress features in apartment 3R, including missing smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and potentially problematic window bars, though these violations were subsequently closed. Historical records from 2021-2024 indicate various maintenance issues typical of older tenements, such as roofing problems and ceiling/wall conditions, but most of these complaints were resolved without issued violations. The building's most recent inspection in 2024-2025 shows proper rodent control measures in place, suggesting improved building maintenance in recent years.
