Augrented Insights Report for 383 Knickerbocker Avenue

The three-story, two-unit OLD LAW TENEMENT at 383 Knickerbocker Avenue in Bushwick, owned by Chaskel Landau and constructed in 1921, has experienced numerous maintenance and safety issues over recent years. Most concerning are the ongoing electrical and safety concerns, with Department of Buildings violations in 2024 citing unapproved electrical work including opened breaker boxes, exposed wiring, and dangling light fixtures, resulting in penalties totaling $3,810. The building has persistent rodent issues, with multiple inspections in 2024 showing "Rat Activity" and requiring bait application.

The property has documented violations related to building maintenance, including an open violation from 2024 regarding improper garbage/recycling storage and a 2022 heat/hot water violation affecting apartment 2R. A significant cluster of violations from 2018 remains relevant, including problems with pest control (mice and roaches), fire egress, and carbon monoxide detection in apartment 3R. The building's recent history includes complaints about unauthorized work in 2023, but inspectors were unable to gain access to verify the conditions. Inspection records indicate both electrical and plumbing concerns in 2023, though access was again denied.

The property has maintained accurate Bedbug Reporting records from 2019 through 2025, consistently showing zero infested units. Recent inspections have revealed recurring rat activity, with the most recent complaint filed in October 2023 regarding unsanitary conditions. While there have been multiple violations issued over the years, including problems with window sills, fire safety features, and various maintenance issues, records show that some have been resolved while others remain open, including the 2024 garbage storage violation and a 2022 heat violation affecting apartment 2R. The building has undergone some structural work as indicated by the open violations related to building code compliance and the recent ECB penalties for electrical safety issues.
