462 Hancock Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233

462 Hancock Street is a three-story, six-unit New Law tenement building in Bedford-Stuyvesant, built in 1910 and currently owned by Kevin Alter. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues over the past two years, with emergency complaints filed between November 2024 and January 2025 showing building-wide temperature control problems.

More than 10 heat-related service requests were made during this period, with multiple complaints being duplicates of previous reports, though some incidents were resolved promptly with restoration of service. The building has also been subject to several Housing Maintenance Code violations, particularly following a December 2024 inspection that revealed multiple issues in public areas requiring attention, including ceiling repairs, fire retardant material replacements, and painting requirements in the first and second-story public halls.

While there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the past five years (2020-2025), there have been consistent rodent inspection results showing passing status in all inspections since 2018, indicating effective pest management. The most recent inspection in June 2025 continues this trend of compliance, though it's worth noting that multiple building-wide heat system failures and required repairs to common areas suggest ongoing maintenance challenges.
