Augrented Insights Report for 785 Knickerbocker Avenue

The four-story building at 785 Knickerbocker Avenue in Bushwick, owned by Knickerbocker Lofts LLC, has a complex maintenance history since its construction in 1914. Most recently, in April 2025, there was a reported pest issue that could not be inspected by HPD due to lack of access. Between 2022 and 2024, multiple complaints and violations primarily involved door and window issues, including problems with window panes, window frames, and doors.

Notable violations issued in 2024 include encroachments on fire escape areas with flower pots and defective self-closing doors in the cellar staircase. The building experienced various unsanitary conditions in 2022, with documented instances of mold and pests, though inspections often failed to gain access or resulted in no violations being found. The property has maintained a relatively stable record regarding pest control, with no bedbug infestations reported in the last five years and successful rodent inspections passing consistently since 2019, with the exception of one rat activity report in October 2019.

However, there are current active violations from 2021-2023 regarding the failure to display energy efficiency scores and grades, and a 2023 violation concerning low-pressure inspection filing. The building's ownership has previously faced multiple violations regarding occupancy certificate issues between 2017 and 2019, resulting in various penalties, though these have since been resolved. Regular rodent inspections and bedbug reporting compliance suggest ongoing attention to pest management, though the recent pest complaint in April 2025 indicates potential re-emergence of such issues.
