726 Knickerbocker Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221

726 Knickerbocker Avenue is a 3-story, 6-unit residential building located in Bushwick, owned by Maximo Ramirez and constructed in 1910 as a New Law Tenement. The property has experienced several concerning utility issues in recent years, particularly with heating and electrical systems. Most notably, there were three separate heat and hot water complaints in early 2022 (January 3, 7, and 11), affecting the entire building, with at least one instance requiring HPD intervention to confirm restoration of services.

More recently, in June 2024, there was a power outage affecting the building, recorded as both a 311 service request and Housing Maintenance Code complaint. The building currently has three open Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2022-2024 related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required under section A. The property is also currently under an active Department of Buildings violation as of June 2023 for failure to file the 2021 external low pressure inspection.

In terms of pest management, the building's bedbug history shows no reported infestations between 2019-2020, with zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units during that period. Recent rodent inspections present a mixed picture; while the building passed inspections in 2022 and 2024, it failed an inspection in April 2025 for unspecified reasons. The building's overall maintenance record suggests ongoing challenges with basic building systems and compliance with reporting requirements, with particular attention needed to the repeated issues regarding heat, power, and pest reporting compliance.
