272 Knickerbocker Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11237
The three-story Old Law Tenement at 272 Knickerbocker Avenue in Bushwick, owned by Carmelino Bruno and built in 1931, has experienced several notable issues over the past few years. The building had a plumbing water supply emergency in August 2021, which was investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development but resulted in no violations.
More concerning is an open violation from August 2021 regarding fire escape safety, specifically concerning encumbrances obstructing egress from fire escape gates installed on exterior windows, affecting second and third-story windows at the building's front. While the building has had recurring annual bedbug report violations between 2021 and 2023, the most recent reports from 2023-2025 show zero infested dwellings, suggesting effective remediation.
However, it should be noted that this violation had not been certified as corrected as of the most recent data. The property has maintained a strong record in other areas, passing all rodent inspections conducted from 2019 through 2025, with the most recent inspection in June 2025 marking nine consecutive successful evaluations of this nature.
