798 Hancock Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233
798 Hancock Street is a 3-story, 18-unit old law tenement building in Bedford-Stuyvesant, built in 1910 and currently owned by Nora Donkor. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues in 2025, with three emergency complaints between June 6 and June 28, though not all units could be inspected. The building has a history of unsanitary conditions, particularly regarding pests, with multiple complaints in 2023 and 2024, including an open violation from January 2024 regarding a mouse infestation specifically in apartment 2B.
The building's maintenance history shows ongoing concerns with various systems, including plumbing issues in 2022 and 2024, multiple paint/plaster complaints in 2023, and several safety-related issues in 2021. Recent inspections and violations indicate some persistent maintenance challenges. As of 2024, there are open violations related to bedbug reporting for 2018 and 2019 external low-pressure inspections, though more recent bedbug filings show zero infested units.
Apartment 2B has multiple open violations from January 2024 regarding defects in various systems, including plumbing, carbon monoxide detectors, and interior surfaces. The most recent rodent inspection in June 2025 failed for unspecified reasons, following a pattern of previously passing inspections dating back to 2017. While the building has maintained compliance with some systems, as evidenced by various closed violations and inspection results, the recurring nature of certain complaints suggests ongoing maintenance challenges that may affect resident comfort and safety.
