Augrented Insights
AI summary · updated June 2026

The three-story, two-unit residential building at 190 Knickerbocker Avenue in Bushwick, owned by Loi Binh Huynh, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most notably, as of March 2024, the building was issued a full vacate order due to serious structural concerns, including severely sloping and out-of-plumb floors on the second and third floors, along with rotted ceiling joists in the cellar. The Department of Buildings has multiple active violations related to failure to maintain the building in a safe condition, with specific citations regarding unsupported beams, compromised floor structures, and a lack of proper documentation for recent repairs.

The building has also faced persistent habitability challenges, with multiple heating and hot water system failures reported through 311 complaints, and violations issued for inadequate smoke and carbon monoxide detection systems. Recent inspection results from February 2025 confirmed ongoing rodent activity, though previous inspections showed generally passing results for pest control. While the property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations since 2019, the recent structural issues and ongoing maintenance violations represent significant concerns for tenant safety and building habitability. The current open violations as of March 2025 include issues with building security, pest maintenance, water leaks, and various safety concerns, indicating a pattern of delayed maintenance response and compliance.
