120 Gatling Place, Brooklyn, NY 11209

The 3-story, 6-unit tenement building at 120 Gatling Place in Fort Hamilton, owned by Neil Stroming, has experienced several maintenance and pest management challenges over the past few years. Most notably, the building has undergone recurring pest issues, with recent rodent activity documented in September 2024 (Inspection Passed - Compliance) and August 2024 (Initial - Rat Activity), as well as a rat sighting reported in September 2024 that was connected to earlier complaints.

The property faced significant housing maintenance code violations in April 2019, particularly affecting apartment 3R, where multiple issues were identified, including the need for proper repair of vinyl flooring, door security improvements, and the installation of window guards, smoke detectors, and carbon monoxide detectors. These violations also encompassed problems with kitchen fixtures, including a defective basin/sink, and various other maintenance issues. The building's most recent Bedbug Reports from 2021 through 2024 indicate no documented infestations, with all reporting periods showing zero infested or re-infested units.

The property has also experienced some electrical concerns recently, with two complaints filed in May and June 2025 regarding defective or exposed electrical wiring, though these were referred to the Department of Transportation. Historical records show the building was constructed in 1927 and classified as a "New Law Tenement," suggesting it has been subject to specific regulatory requirements for maintaining safety and habitability standards. The persistent nature of the building's pest management issues, as evidenced by multiple violations and inspection results, along with the recent electrical complaints, are notable aspects of the property's maintenance history.
