800 Knickerbocker Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207
The 6-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement building at 800 Knickerbocker Avenue in Bushwick, owned by Mordechi Held, has experienced several maintenance issues over recent years, with particular concerns regarding plumbing systems. Most notably, there are currently open violations from 2022-2024 related to the failure to file mandatory annual bedbug reports, and while there have been multiple plumbing complaints, including water supply issues in December 2024 and June 2024, as well as concerns with basins/sinks, inspections have typically found conditions either met or not violating housing laws.
The building underwent significant work in 2018-2019, during which time there were multiple construction-related violations regarding safety measures and fencing, though these were all eventually resolved. While the building has maintained 100% rodent inspection pass rates from 2012 to 2025, indicating effective pest control measures, the presence of an open bedbug report violation suggests ongoing monitoring requirements have not been consistently met.
The most recent housing maintenance code violations and complaints continue to revolve primarily around plumbing systems, with three water supply-related issues recorded between 2022 and 2024, though notably, none of these complaints were classified as emergency situations. The building's historical records show a pattern of plumbing-related maintenance issues persisting over several years, though recent inspections have generally resulted in confirmed compliance with housing laws. Notably, there was one previous violation from 2015 regarding inadequate front entrance lighting, which was certified as corrected in 2019.
