75 Hancock Street, Brooklyn, NY 11216

75 Hancock Street is a 3-story, 7-unit residential building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, constructed in 1880 and currently owned by George Lin. The building has undergone several significant maintenance issues over the past few years, with notable events including three separate complaints regarding building conditions from 2019 to 2023: an indoor air quality issue related to construction dust in March 2023, a heat and hot water problem affecting the entire building in May 2020, and a pest infestation incident in August 2019.

Although the Department of Housing Preservation and Development investigated these complaints and confirmed that the conditions were corrected, they represent periods of concern for residents. Recent building activity includes two complaints in March and April 2023 regarding suspected unauthorized construction work and after-hours work, though inspections found no violations.

The building has maintained a strong record with regards to pest management, as evidenced by six consecutive annual bedbug reports from 2019 to 2024 showing zero infested units, and regular rodent inspections between 2020 and 2025 have generally resulted in passing grades, with only one initial inspection in May 2025 resulting in a failure for "Other Reasons." The building has been diligent in addressing rodent issues, with subsequent inspections showing compliance. While the building has experienced periodic maintenance issues that required official intervention, the property management appears to address violations once reported, and has maintained a clean record in recent bedbug inspections and rodent control efforts.
