116 Gatling Place, Brooklyn, NY 11209

116 Gatling Place, a three-story, six-unit residential building constructed in 1927 in the Fort Hamilton neighborhood, has experienced several maintenance and pest control challenges in recent months. Since October 2024, the property has faced multiple issues including water leaks, pest infestations (particularly rodents), and heating system concerns. Most notably, in November 2024, there were documented problems with water leaks, unsanitary conditions, and heat/hot water availability, leading to multiple HPD violations being issued.

The building has also shown recurring rodent issues, with multiple rat sightings reported between October and December 2024, and two baiting treatments conducted in January 2025. Apartment 3R has been the focus of several violations, including issues with smoke detectors, carbon monoxide safety requirements, window repairs, plaster surfaces, and an extermination order for roaches. The property has a history of heating system concerns, with a building-wide heating complaint recorded in November 2019.

More recent violations from November 2024 include requirements to post safety notices Regarding carbon monoxide detectors and gas leak procedures, as well as repairs needed for water leaks and various maintenance issues in common areas. While the building had one violation related to low pressure inspection filing in mid-2023, this was subsequently dismissed. On a positive note, the building has maintained a bedbug-free status across all recent reporting periods from 2019 to 2024. The property owner, Jin Deng, has taken steps to address some violations, as evidenced by the certification dates in late 2024 and 2025, though residents should be aware of ongoing rodent management efforts indicated by recent bait applications.
