Augrented Insights Report for 280 Knickerbocker Avenue

280 Knickerbocker Avenue is a 4-unit, 3-story old law tenement building located in Bushwick and owned by Frank Milazzo since 1949. Built in 1931, the building has experienced several maintenance and safety issues over the past few years, with the most concerning recent developments occurring in 2024.

These include two active housing maintenance code violations from April 2024 for pest infestations in apartment 3R (both rodents and roaches), multiple open violations regarding defective self-closing doors throughout the building, and a series of 311 service requests in early 2024 related to various building issues such as plumbing problems, water leaks, and door/window concerns, though most of these complaints were closed without violations being issued. The building's history also includes several significant maintenance incidents in 2022-2023, including an electrical lighting issue, heat/hot water problems affecting the entire building, and an emergency mold situation in December 2022. Food poisoning complaints were filed in 2023, and there was a period of rodent activity noted in December 2023.

However, recent inspections in 2025 and late 2024 have shown improvement, with the most recent rodent inspection in June 2025 passing successfully. The property has maintained a clean bedbug record in the past two years, with no reported infestations since 2020. Violation records show an active DOB violation from 2019 regarding an未 filed boiler inspection report and multiple HPD violations regarding self-closing door issues that require urgent attention.
