575 Hancock Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233
The 23-unit, 4-story tenement at 575 Hancock Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, built in 1921, has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, with the most significant concerns centering around water-related and pest problems. Most recently, in April 2025, there was a heavy water leak in the building that resulted in HPD violations, following a similar water issue in October 2024 affecting the bathroom ceiling in apartment 3B.
The building has also faced persistent pest problems, particularly in 2024, with multiple violations issued for rodent infestations in apartments 3A and 3C, though recent inspections in 2025 showed compliance with rodent control regulations. Other notable issues include a broken door in January 2025, various ceiling and wall maintenance problems, and multiple instances of unsanitary conditions related to garbage and recycling storage. The property has a history of compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with the most recent report from June 2025 showing no infested units during the 2023-2024 period.
While there have been water heating and heating system violations recorded in 2024, these appear to have been addressed, as evidenced by the building's recent successful rodent inspections in 2025. The building's systems and maintenance history shows a mix of resolved and ongoing issues, with particular attention required for the persistent pattern of water-related problems and periodic pest control matters. The property's environmental control board violations from 2019 regarding boiler compliance remain active, indicating ongoing maintenance requirements in this area.
