Augrented Insights Report for 503 Hancock Street

503 Hancock Street is a 4-story, 12-unit residential tenement building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, built in 1910 and currently owned by Michael Garcia. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with three documented complaints in 2024-2025 and several others between 2018-2019. Most recently, in early 2025, HPD was unable to gain access to inspect the reported heat and hot water problems, marking the third such incident in this pattern.

The building is currently facing four open Class A violations from 2023 related to safety requirements, including missing notifications for smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector requirements, and a bedbug reporting requirement from 2024. Notably, two active ECB violations from December 2018 remain regarding two unregistered boilers (Laars and Peerless), each carrying a penalty of $3,125. The property has shown varied results in rodent inspections, with multiple instances of rat activity reported between 2023 and 2025, though most recent inspections in April 2025 show compliance.

A non-emergency complaint regarding garbage/recycling storage from late 2022 was closed with no violations issued. The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with zero reported cases in the last several filing periods between 2018 and 2022. Historical records show regular heating system issues persisted through 2018-2019, though many were resolved promptly according to tenant reports. While there are several open violations and persistent heating system complaints, the building has generally completed required inspections and maintained basic safety protocols, with most violations remaining in an open status rather than having penalties assessed.
