Augrented Insights Report for 651 Knickerbocker Avenue

651 Knickerbocker Avenue is a 4-story, 8-unit residential building constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Mark Benitez. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with eight documented complaints between 2019 and 2021, primarily affecting the entire building. These incidents required intervention from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), though in many cases inspectors were unable to access units for verification.

The most recent complaints were in October 2021, with one being an apartment-specific issue. More recent violations were documented in August 2023, when apartment 4A was found to have defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, though these were certified as corrected by September 2023. Earlier violations from 2021 in apartment 3B included issues with vinyl floor tile and ceramic tile in the kitchen and bathroom, respectively.

The building has shown good pest management over the past several years, with no bedbug infestations reported in the last five filing periods (2020-2025). While there were periods of rat activity noted through 2022, recent inspections in 2023 and 2024 have passed, suggesting improvements in rodent control. The property has maintained regular compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, consistently showing no units affected since at least 2020.
