716 Knickerbocker Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221
The three-story, five-unit New Law tenement building at 716 Knickerbocker Avenue in Bushwick, currently owned by Matt Ross, has experienced several maintenance challenges since 2020. The property, constructed in 1911, has recorded two Department of Buildings violations related to elevator services between 2020 and 2021, both of which were promptly resolved through Gotham Elevator's intervention.
The building has maintained a consistent record of bedbug-free status from 2021 onwards, with no reported infestations in the past three years (2021-2024), following two isolated infestation cases in 2018-2019 and 2019-2020 periods, both of which were successfully eradicated. More recently, the building has faced rodent control challenges, with multiple inspections by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene showing persistent rat activity and the need for bait application.
Starting in August 2022, there were several instances of rat activity requiring bait application, with the most recent inspection in April 2025 resulting in a failed inspection for "Other Reasons." Between October 2022 and April 2024, at least eight rodent control measures were implemented, including multiple bait application instances and two compliance checks showing rat activity. The building's most recent rodent inspection in April 2025 marks a significant concern, given the relatively recent history of consistent pest control efforts.
