858 Knickerbocker Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207
The three-story, six-unit tenement building at 858 Knickerbocker Avenue in Bushwick, owned by Wai Lam, has experienced several notable maintenance issues in recent years. Most concerning is a recent emergency water leak reported in June 2024, which the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) was unable to inspect due to access issues.
Similarly, in January 2022, the entire building experienced heat and hot water problems, which were also uninspectable by HPD for access reasons. The building has faced persistent rodent control challenges, with multiple baiting sessions conducted between March and July 2024, though the latest inspection in April 2025 passed without issues.
Despite these challenges, the building has demonstrated effective pest management regarding bedbugs, with official reports from 2021 through 2024 showing no infested units or eradication needs. The structure, built in 1910 and classified as a New Law Tenement, has maintained its legal obligations regarding bedbug reporting, consistently filing zero infestation reports over the past five years.
