682 Hancock Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233
682 Hancock Street is a 2-story, 6-unit residential building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, built in 1899 and currently owned by 682 Hancock LLC. The property has experienced persistent moisture-related issues, with multiple recent complaints about mold (July 2023 and June 2023) and water leaks, particularly affecting apartment 1A, where violations have been issued for mold on the west wall and various water-related problems. These issues were serious enough to result in emergency housing maintenance code complaints.
The building has also undergone significant construction activity in recent years, with multiple permits issued between 2020-2022. During this period, there were several construction-related violations recorded in 2020, including inadequate site safety measures and deficient drawings, which resulted in penalties totaling $6,750. While more recent construction-related complaints in 2023 have been closed, including issues with building shaking and construction contrary to approved plans, a July 2023 ECB violation was issued regarding water-related maintenance failures in the cellar.
The building's rodent inspections have shown mixed results, with the most recent inspection in 2025 passing, though there was noted rat activity in October 2022. Notably, there have been no bedbug infestations reported in the past three years (2022-2025), and the most recent inspection in 2025 showed compliance with rodent control standards. The property has experienced various maintenance issues over the years, including plumbing problems and defective plaster surfaces, though many historical violations from 2004 have since been resolved.
