525 Hancock Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233

The three-unit, three-story residential building at 525 Hancock Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Eric Forman, was constructed in 1899 and has been classified as a HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS A property. The building has experienced recurring bedbug reporting requirements, with violations noted in both 2021 and 2022 for failing to file the mandatory annual bedbug reports, though recent filings for 2022-2025 show no current infestations (0 units infested, 0 units eradicated, 0 re-infested) suggesting improved compliance with the reporting requirements.

The property's rodent inspections show a generally positive track record, having passed recent inspections in 2022, 2024, and 2025. A rat activity report from October 2014 was the only significant negative finding in this category during the past decade. The bedbug infestation history shows one documented case in 2021, but subsequent years (2022-2025) have maintained a pattern of no reported infestations.

The building's age and historical violations are concerning, but the lack of recent infestations and rodent issues in recent years indicates improved maintenance and compliance with health and safety regulations. The most recent rodent inspection in June 2025 passed, continuing the trend of improved building conditions. While the building has experienced notable pest control issues in the past, particularly in 2014 and 2021, the current status suggests a stabilized environment with better adherence to reporting requirements and pest management protocols.
