Augrented Insights Report for 815 Knickerbocker Avenue

The 6-unit New Law Tenement at 815 Knickerbocker Avenue in Bushwick, currently owned by Jet Set Knickerbocker Realty, LLC, has a documented history of maintenance and habitability issues spanning several years. Most recently, in May 2025, there was a heat/hot water emergency affecting the entire building, though service was reportedly restored before or during the HPD inspection. The building has experienced recurring heat/hot water problems, with similar complaints in 2022 and 2024.

The most substantial cluster of issues occurred in 2019, when multiple violations were documented regarding flooring, stairs, windows, and general conditions, including mold and unsanitary conditions that resulted in various violations being issued. A significant incident occurred in 2020 involving illegal occupancy issues, where violations were issued for failure to comply with a vacate order, lack of required means of egress, absence of sprinkler systems, and illegal SRO units, particularly concerning Apartment 3L. These violations resulted in several fines, including one for $4,800, though all were ultimately resolved.

The building has maintained regular bedbug reporting compliance since 2020, with no confirmed infestations in recent years, and recent rodent inspections indicate improved conditions, with the most recent inspection in April 2025 showing a "Passed" result, though there were several instances of rat activity noted in 2023-2024. The property, constructed in 1912, has undergone various maintenance issues typical of older buildings, including plumbing problems (with multiple reports regarding sinks in 2019), flooring issues (documented in both 2019 and 2024), and window problems. More recent violations, as of 2024, primarily concern Apartment 3R and include issues with bathroom floor tiles, window repair needs, and various maintenance compliance matters. The building's history suggests ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly regarding building systems and unit conditions, though there has been some progress in recent years regarding pest control and compliance with bedbug reporting requirements.
