875 Knickerbocker Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207
875 Knickerbocker Avenue is a two-story, five-unit residential building constructed in 1906 and currently owned by Georgina Vazquez. The property has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water availability, particularly between December 2018 and May 2019, when multiple emergency complaints were filed through HPD, though records indicate that service was ultimately restored in each instance.
More recent concerns have emerged regarding pest control, with the building receiving multiple Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) complaints in mid-2022 concerning unsanitary pigeon conditions and waste. The building underwent a significant inspection in January 2022, which resulted in several Housing Maintenance Code violations, including issues with self-closing doors, flooring problems, and required postings regarding carbon monoxide detection and gas leak procedures.
As of June 2023, there remains an active violation concerning the failure to file the 2020 External Low Pressure Inspection report. The property has experienced varying results in rodent inspections from 2019 through 2025, with the most recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 indicating rat activity, though earlier inspections had shown successful compliance. Between 2022 and 2023, multiple building violations were identified and subsequently addressed, including floor repair requirements in Apartment 3L, staircase issues, and the need to provide proper safety notices in common areas, all of which were certified as corrected by June 2022.
