821 Hancock Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233
821 Hancock Street is a 3-story, 6-unit residential building constructed in 1905 in Bedford-Stuyvesant, currently owned by Kathleen Ryan. The property has an ongoing pattern of specific violations related to maintenance requirements, particularly around bedbug reporting and external low-pressure inspections.
Most notably, there are four consecutive years (2021-2024) with open violations regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by the Housing Maintenance Code. Additionally, there is a concerning series of violations relating to failure to file external low-pressure inspection reports from 2018 through 2023, with the most recent violation issued in September 2024 remaining active.
Despite these compliance issues, the building has demonstrated consistently passing results on rodent inspections over the past decade, with the most recent inspections in 2022, 2024, and 2025 showing no rodent problems. While the passed rodent inspections suggest some level of maintenance is being performed, the pattern of open violations related to both bedbug reporting and low-pressure inspection filings indicates ongoing challenges in meeting certain regulatory requirements. The building's age and classification as an "OLD LAW TENEMENT" are consistent with its 1905 construction date, and it has maintained its original 3-story structure configuration.
