556 Hancock Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233

The four-story, 4-unit Old Law Tenement building at 556 Hancock Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, currently owned by Vivian Sullivan, has a notable history of compliance with health and safety regulations over the past several years. Most recently, rodent inspections conducted in 2025, 2024, 2022, and 2019 have consistently resulted in passing grades, indicating effective pest management.

The building has undergone regular bedbug reporting compliance checks, with the most recent report filed in April 2024 covering the period from November 2022 to October 2023, showing zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested dwelling units. Similar clean records were maintained in the previous reporting period (2023), though the building received four consecutive Class A violations between 2021 and 2024 regarding the late filing of annual bedbug reports under the Housing Maintenance Code, demonstrating a pattern of non-compliance that was eventually rectified with the 2024 filing.

A notable health-related incident occurred in May 2019 when a complaint regarding indoor air quality was filed with the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, though this was closed on the same day and no further information about any required actions is available in the records. The building appears to have maintained a generally stable condition over the past five years, with no recent documented complaints or violations, though the pattern of bedbug report violations suggests there was some period during which administrative requirements were not consistently met, despite the successful treatment protocols evidenced by the subsequent clean reports.
