Augrented Insights Report for 181 Knickerbocker Avenue

181 Knickerbocker Avenue is a 4-story, 6-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1931, currently owned by Manuel Heredia and located in Bushwick. The building has experienced several notable issues over the past few years, with the most concerning being a recent rodent-related complaint in June 2024 where health inspectors were unable to access the property for inspection. The building underwent multiple inspections in late 2023 and throughout 2024, with inspectors often unable to gain access during compliance checks, which raises concerns about safety and maintenance oversight.

Historical issues from 2019 included unlicensed plumbing work and gas line installation violations that resulted in penalties totaling over $5,000, though these were subsequently resolved. The property has a documented history of various maintenance concerns, including multiple inspections in 2022-2023 showing potential problems with electrical wiring, plumbing work, and other maintenance issues, though most inspections resulted in no violations being found at the time of inspection. A series of Housing Maintenance Code complaints in December 2021 documented issues related to paint/plaster work, electrical outlets, heat/hot water, and fire escape safety.

Notably, the building has maintained a bedbug-free status in recent reporting periods, with no infested units reported in the last three inspections. Regular rodent inspections since 2021 have passed consistently, suggesting some improvement in pest management, though the recent June 2024 complaint indicates ongoing challenges. The building's maintenance history shows a mix of resolved violations, emergency repairs, and routine inspections, with the most recent rodent inspection in April 2025 showing passing results.
