79 Hancock Street, Brooklyn, NY 11216
The three-story, two-unit building at 79 Hancock Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Aldric Freeman, has experienced several concerning pest-related issues over recent years. Most notably, there have been recurring rodent problems, with the most recent complaint filed in August 2023 resulting in violations requiring follow-up inspections by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene.
Rodent inspections show a mixed record, with the most recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 passing, but earlier inspections in 2023 had instances of rat activity and failures for other reasons. The building has also faced issues with bedbug reporting compliance, with open violations dating back to March and April 2024 regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by Housing Maintenance Code.
While the property completed its bedbug reporting for the 2020-2021 period showing no infestation, the ongoing violations suggest potential challenges in maintaining compliance with housing regulations. The building's inspection history shows periodic rodent inspections with varying results, though the most recent inspections have been passing.
