200 Knickerbocker Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11237
The 4-story, 5-unit tenement building at 200 Knickerbocker Avenue in Bushwick, owned by Virgil Chong, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, particularly in 2024. Most notably, there were confirmed mold problems in multiple inspections, including a recent emergency complaint from October 2024, and violations issued in both April and October 2024. The building has also faced various maintenance challenges that affect resident comfort and safety, as evidenced by multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations.
In particular, Apartment 2L received several violations in October 2024 regarding smoke and carbon monoxide detector issues, a self-closing door problem, and visible mold in the bathroom ceiling. Apartment 2R has open violations from May 2024 concerning bathroom fixtures and plaster surfaces. The property has shown some concerning maintenance patterns, with multiple inspections and service requests in 2024 revealing issues with ventilation systems, flooring, appliance conditions, and various wall and ceiling problems.
While there were significant violations issued in 2024, most of them were subsequently certified as addressed by November 2024. The building's rodent inspection results show a mixed history, with rat activity reported in both 2025 and 2024 inspections, though the most recent inspection in June 2025 passed. Notably, the building has maintained a clean record for bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in recent years, and has successfully passed multiple rodent inspections. The property has undergone regular inspections as required by NYC housing regulations, though the pattern of complaints and violations suggests ongoing maintenance challenges that impact resident quality of life.
