158 Knickerbocker Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11237
158 Knickerbocker Avenue is a 3-story, 4-unit residential building located in Bushwick, Brooklyn, owned by Iglesia Pent Monte Dehoreb Inc. The 1931 Old Law Tenement building has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most pressing concerns being rodent infestations and heating system problems. The property has an ongoing rodent problem, with multiple inspections between 2023 and 2025 consistently revealing rat activity, most recently in May 2025.
There are also significant heating system concerns; in January 2021, both building-wide and apartment-specific heat/hot water issues were reported, and another similar complaint was filed in December 2018. While in 2021 heat and hot water were reportedly restored, the repeated nature of these complaints is notable. The building is currently subject to multiple open violations related to bedbug reporting requirements, with inspections from 2021 through 2024 noting non-compliance with annual bedbug report filing requirements as mandated by HPD.
These violations were issued in 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024, suggesting inadequate follow-through on this specific maintenance requirement. The persistence of both rodent activity and unresolved bedbug reporting violations indicates ongoing challenges with building maintenance and pest control. The most recent rodent activity inspections in 2025, combined with multiple previous findings of rat activity in 2023 and 2024, suggest that while some inspections have passed, there remains an ongoing challenge with vermin control in the building.
