Augrented Insights Report for 873 Knickerbocker Avenue

The three-story, six-unit tenement at 873 Knickerbocker Avenue, built in 1906 and currently owned by Lorenzo De Los Santos, has experienced several maintenance and compliance issues in recent years. Most notably, in October 2024, the building faced plumbing problems that affected water supply, particularly within apartment 2L, which had violations related to inadequate hot and cold water supply.

This incident resulted in multiple violations, including the need for proper signage regarding smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and gas leak procedures in common areas, though these are administrative rather than safety violations. The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with the most recent report from July 2024 showing no cases, though there were previous violations in 2022-2024 regarding the timely filing of bedbug reports.

The property's rodent inspection history shows mixed results, with the most recent inspections in 2025 and 2024 passing, while an initial inspection in April 2025 and another in September 2022 indicated rat activity. A significant historical issue occurred in late 2019 when the building received a violation for failing to file its annual boiler inspection report, though this was eventually dismissed in early 2020 after the penalty was paid. While the building has generally demonstrated compliance with many housing maintenance codes, the recent plumbing issues in 2024 and the mixed rodent inspection results indicate ongoing challenges with building maintenance and pest control.
