Augrented Insights Report for 858 Hancock Street

The three-story, six-unit tenement building at 858 Hancock Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Abraham Hoffman, has faced recurring maintenance challenges over the past several years. Most notably, there have been multiple heat and hot water issues reported between 2020 and 2022, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building.

The building has also experienced persistent pest problems, including rodent issues and a significant pest infestation in 2022, though recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 have shown rat activity remains a concern. A comprehensive inspection in 2022 revealed several violations, including heat supply issues, water leaks, and problems with self-closing doors, while subsequent inspections in early 2022 identified deficiencies related to fire safety, carbon monoxide detection, and water damage in common areas. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of reactive rather than proactive response to building issues, with multiple complaints about access problems preventing timely inspections.

While there have been no reported bedbug infestations since 2022, and the building's most recent bedbug reports from 2022 through 2024 show zero infested units, the property continues to struggle with basic maintenance issues. The most current rodent inspection in May 2025 indicates ongoing challenges with vermin control, though previous inspections in 2024 and 2023 showed the building passed compliance checks. This pattern of complaints and violations suggests ongoing maintenance and habitability challenges, though recent years have shown some improvement in specific areas like bedbug management.
