Augrented Insights Report for 214 Knickerbocker Avenue

214 Knickerbocker Avenue is a 3-story, 4-unit old-law tenement building located in Bushwick, built in 1931 and currently owned by Joel Fekete. The building has experienced recurring issues with unsanitary garbage/recycling storage conditions, with multiple complaints filed between 2022 and 2023, though no violations were ultimately issued. There have also been persistent rodent issues, with inspection records from 2024 showing rat activity and multiple bait applications, with the most recent inspection in June 2025 showing compliance.

The building has a history of maintenance challenges, including three emergency plumbing complaints regarding water supply issues in October 2019, and door/window repair needs in October 2022. Recent inspections from 2023-2024 show several active violations related to external low-pressure inspection filings, as well as past ECB violations indicating failure to comply with commissioner’s orders and file necessary certificates of correction. The building underwent various regulatory scrutiny in 2019-2020, receiving multiple class A violations regarding safety notice requirements, including carbon monoxide detector requirements, gas leak procedures, and bedbug reporting compliance.

Construction-related issues were noted in 2019, with violations for work without permits and multiple system deficiencies including electrical wiring and boiler concerns. While the building has maintained bedbug-free status in recent annual reports (2020-2024), the ongoing rodent management requirements suggest continued attention to pest control needs. The most recent building filing indicates proper bedbug reporting compliance as of December 2024, with all previously noted violations now resolved or dismissed.
