Augrented Insights Report for 718 Knickerbocker Avenue

This 4-unit, 3-story tenement building located at 718 Knickerbocker Avenue in Bushwick, owned by Yehuda Miller, has a long-standing history of pest-related issues and maintenance concerns. Built in 1910, the building experienced significant rodent problems in early 2021, with multiple complaints from tenants and corresponding DOHMH and HPD responses, indicating a building-wide infestation that required follow-up inspections. Recent maintenance inspections in 2024 revealed two Class C violations requiring attention to fire safety systems: one related to approximately 300 square feet of damaged fire-retardant ceiling material in the cellar, and another concerning defective self-closing doors at the roof bulkhead.

Additionally, there are currently five open violations related to failure to file annual external low pressure inspections from 2018 through 2023, which remain unresolved as of September 2024. The building has demonstrated some improvement in pest management since 2022, with regular rat inspections showing "Passed" results in 2024 and 2025. The most recent bedbug reports from 2023-2024 indicate no infestations during the previous five reporting periods, suggesting effective pest control measures are now in place.

Historical records from 2022-2023 show various violations primarily related to fire safety and maintenance issues, including concerns about blocked fire escapes, mold in bathroom areas, and issues with interior room configuration. While many of these violations were addressed and closed, the pattern of recurring low pressure inspection violations is notable. The building's most recent rat inspections, conducted in 2024 and 2025, both passed, indicating successful pest management in recent years, though the property did experience periodic rat activity in 2021 and 2022 before improvements were implemented.
