Augrented Insights Report for 175 Knickerbocker Avenue

The 5-unit, 3-story Old Law Tenement building at 175 Knickerbocker Avenue in Bushwick, owned by Ben Goldstein and constructed in 1931, has experienced several recurring issues over recent years, particularly involving animal-related complaints and maintenance violations. The building has a documented history of sanitation concerns, with multiple Department of Health inspections between 2019-2022 regarding animal waste and unsanitary conditions, though most recent inspections (2022-2023) found no violations.

Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2018-2024 indicate several safety and maintenance concerns, including improper door closures, inadequate heat supply, and missing safety notices, though these violations have been generally addressed and closed. Most notably, there is an active violation as of 2024 regarding failure to file external low-pressure inspections for multiple years (2018-2023) and a recent environmental control board violation from July 2024 concerning occupancy contrary to the certificate of occupancy, specifically related to a first-floor doggy daycare operation. The building's recent history shows some positive developments, with successful rodent inspections in 2023-2025 showing compliance, though there were documented rat activity issues in early 2024.

Bedbug reporting from 2022-2024 shows zero infested or eradicated units, indicating effective pest management. The property has undergone several permit issuances between 2019-2020 for various work types, suggesting ongoing maintenance and system improvements. The building's inspection and violation history demonstrates ongoing compliance efforts, though the active violations related to inspection filing requirements and the recent occupancy issue suggest areas requiring continued attention.
