548 Hancock Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233
548 Hancock Street is a three-story, six-unit, Class A residential building in Bedford-Stuyvesant, constructed in 1899 and currently owned by Mei Somera. The property has experienced ongoing maintenance and safety issues in recent years, with the most significant concerns emerging in 2024.
Multiple emergency complaints regarding unsanitary conditions and mold were recorded in April 2024, coinciding with severe violations in Apartment 6 including broken kitchen floor panels, missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, bathroom ventilation problems, and a vermin infestation involving flies. Additionally, the building has three open bedbug report violations from 2021-2023 requiring annual reporting compliance. The building's maintenance history shows persistent challenges with infrastructure and safety compliance.
A July 2018 violation related to self-closing cellar doors remains open, and there have been varying results on rodent inspections, with the most recent June 2025 inspection resulting in a failure. However, the building did pass rodent inspections in 2024, 2022, and 2019, and an enforcement work order complaint from October 2023 was closed following two attempted inspections. While some issues appear to have been addressed promptly, as evidenced by the quick closure of April 2024 mold complaints, the recurring pattern of violations and open citations suggests ongoing maintenance challenges within the property.
