723 Knickerbocker Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221
The property at 723 Knickerbocker Avenue in Bushwick is a 4-story, 8-unit New Law Tenement building built in 1910 and currently owned by Maximo Ramirez. The building has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, with the most recent complaint filed in February 2025 regarding ceiling paint/plaster conditions that HPD was unable to inspect. In mid-2024, there were complaints about electrical outlet/switch problems, water leaks, and mold conditions, though no violations were issued after HPD inspections.
Multiple open violations were issued in June 2024 related to safety requirements, including missing smoke detector notices, carbon monoxide detector requirements, mailbox inspection certificates, and gas leak procedures at the public hall. The building also has an outstanding violation from April 2024 regarding the filing of the annual bedbug report. The property has a documented history of rodent activity, with inspections showing rat presence in 2019 (multiple incidents), 2022 (two incidents), and most recently in May 2025 where the building failed the inspection for "Other Reasons".
Between these instances, the building has shown some improvement with compliance passes, particularly in 2024, though rodent control appears to remain a persistent issue. The building's bedbug history shows zero infested units reported in 2021, though multiple violation notices regarding bedbug reporting requirements have been issued. A vacant building complaint from 2020 was closed without access being gained for inspection. The property has had some difficulty with HPD inspections, as evidenced by multiple instances in 2024 and 2025 where inspectors were unable to gain access to conduct proper evaluations, suggesting potential concerns about accessibility or communication regarding maintenance issues.
