148 Knickerbocker Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11237

The three-story, six-unit tenement at 148 Knickerbocker Avenue in Bushwick, owned by Lilia Montesdeoca, has experienced persistent pest control challenges over the past few years. Most notably, there have been four documented violations between 2021 and 2024 related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required under Housing Maintenance Code, though these violations were subsequently closed.

However, the building's bedbug reporting history shows consistent compliance since 2021, with the most recent reports (2024) indicating zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units during the specified reporting periods. The property has also faced significant rodent control issues, particularly in 2023-2025. Frequent inspections between October 2023 and May 2025 show a pattern of rat activity, with the most concerning periods occurring in late 2023 and early 2024 when initial inspections recorded rat activity.

Baiting operations were conducted regularly during this period, with multiple applications noted between March and December 2024. The building's pest management situation shows some improvement in 2025, with recent inspections passing compliance standards, including a May 2025 inspection that resulted in a "Passed" status. While the bedbug situation appears stable with no reported activity since 2021, the rodent control measures and inspection results indicate an ongoing need for monitoring and maintenance of pest management systems in the building.
