593 Hancock Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233
593 Hancock Street is a four-story, three-unit residential building constructed in 1901 in the Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood, currently owned by Joyce Reese. The building has faced recurring issues with its annual bedbug report filings, with open Class A Housing Maintenance Code Violations recorded in 2024, 2023, 2022, and 2021, all relating to the failure to submit the required bedbug reports as per HPD regulations.
More critically, there are multiple active violations regarding the failure to file External Low Pressure Inspection documentation for the years 2018 through 2023, indicating a potential safety concern. The building underwent some construction activities in 2018 that resulted in multiple Environmental Control Board violations related to inadequate site safety measures and lack of notification regarding earthwork, though these were subsequently resolved with various penalties. The property has maintained reasonably good conditions in other aspects, passing rodent inspections in 2016, 2017, 2022, 2024, and most recently in 2025.
Several permits have been issued over the years for various improvements and maintenance work, including plumbing and electrical work, with the most recent permit activity located in 2022 related to exterior work (Job #340586501). Two notable complaints were filed in 2018 regarding an illegal conversion and construction work issues, but both were either unsubstantiated or resolved. While the building's maintenance history shows regular permit activity and some proactive maintenance, the persistent bedbug report violation pattern and multiple active low pressure inspection violations suggest areas requiring improved compliance attention.
