447 Hancock Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233
The two-story, three-unit building at 447 Hancock Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Roland Waterman, is facing ongoing regulatory challenges in recent years.
The property, built in 1899 and classified as "HEREAFTER CONVERTED CLASS A," has multiple open violations related to bedbug reporting requirements in 2023 and 2024, suggesting non-compliance with the Housing Maintenance Code's annual bedbug report filing obligations. These violations have persisted despite prior compliance in 2022 and earlier filings between 2019-2021, during which no infested units were reported.
The building has also experienced fluctuating pest control issues, with recent rodent-related inspections showing concerning patterns: while it passed a rodent inspection in June 2025, there were documented instances of rat activity in June and July 2024, following a compliant inspection in October 2022. The property's inspection history indicates a mix of compliance and non-compliance with health and safety requirements, particularly regarding pest management.
