469 Hancock Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233

The three-story, six-unit New Law Tenement building at 469 Hancock Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, currently owned by Shari Serrano and built in 1910, has experienced ongoing maintenance challenges in its recent history. Most notably, in September 2024, serious issues were documented in Apartment 1B, including open violations for both rodent (mice) and insect (roach) infestations, as well as a mold problem affecting approximately 5 square feet of bathroom ceiling and wall space.

These hygiene concerns followed similar maintenance issues from 2023, when violations were recorded for defective kitchen lighting and bathroom mold in the same unit, along with lighting problems that persisted into October 2024. The building's history reveals a pattern of maintenance challenges primarily centered around Apartment 1B, which has experienced multiple documented violations since 2021, including issues with plaster surfaces, lighting fixtures, and plumbing problems.

While the property has maintained a consistent record of bedbug inspections from 2019 to 2025 showing no infestations, and recent rodent inspections in 2022, 2024, and 2025 have passed, the ongoing electrical and hygiene issues suggest persistent maintenance challenges. The most recent electrical complaints in October 2024, related to lighting problems, were inspected by HPD but did not result in any housing law violations being found. The building's annual bedbug reports from 2022-2025 have consistently shown zero infested units or need for eradication efforts, indicating effective management of this particular pest issue over the years.
