847 Knickerbocker Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207
847 Knickerbocker Avenue is a 4-unit, 3-story New Law Tenement building located in Bushwick, constructed in 1906 and currently owned by Remy Raisner. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with multiple complaints and violations recorded between 2021-2024, particularly during late 2021 and the summer of 2024, when several emergency complaints were filed regarding these essential services.
The most recent inspections (July 2024) revealed multiple open housing maintenance code violations, including defective self-closing doors in the public hall, missing inspection certificates, and inadequate postings regarding safety requirements such as smoke detectors and carbon monoxide devices. There is also an active Department of Buildings violation from September 2024 regarding the failure to file the 2023 external low pressure inspection. The building has undergone several inspections for rodent activity between 2022 and 2025, with the most recent inspections in 2025 showing failed compliance results and confirmed rat activity.
While there have been multiple system-related complaints in 2024 (including ventilation, electrical, and plumbing issues), most were resolved without violations being issued. Importantly, there have been no recorded bedbug infestations in the past four reporting periods (2021-2024), indicating no pest control issues related to this particular menace. The property currently faces challenges in maintaining basic services such as heat and water, as evidenced by the frequency of related complaints and violations over recent years.
