543A Hancock Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233
The three-story, three-unit residential building at 543A Hancock Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Maria Collado and constructed in 2004, has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water in recent months. Between August 2023 and December 2024, multiple complaints were filed regarding heat and hot water problems, with three emergency complaints in December 2024 alone. The building has also faced several maintenance challenges, including mold and unsanitary conditions, with violations issued in December 2024 regarding mold in the bathroom and plaster/paint issues in Apartment 2.
Historical maintenance records show a pattern of concerns, with similar issues noted in 2022-2023 including plumbing problems, pest issues, and electrical system concerns. The building has received multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations related to safety and maintenance requirements. In September 2023, violations were issued for failure to maintain proper notices regarding carbon monoxide detectors, gas leak procedures, smoke detector requirements, and building registration information in common areas.
During the same inspection period, an annual bedbug report violation was noted, though subsequent bedbug reporting for 2023-2025 shows no infestations or eradication efforts. The property has a recorded illegal conversion complaint from 2020, though inspectors were unable to gain access during their investigation. While some violations have been resolved, including several from 2022-2023 regarding hot water issues, the building's recent history suggests ongoing challenges with basic building systems and maintenance requirements.
