59 Hancock Street, Brooklyn, NY 11216
The three-story, five-unit residential building at 59 Hancock Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Nathaniel Rollerson, has a notable history of bedbug reporting violations, with annual requirements to file bedbug reports under the Housing Maintenance Code documented as open violations since 2021 through 2024.
While the building has consistently passed nine rodent inspections between 2019 and 2025, indicating good pest control practices, there have been recent concerns about unauthorized work at the property. In the summer of 2024, three separate complaints regarding work without proper permits in an occupied multiple dwelling were filed, though inspectors were unable to gain access on all three occasions.
A subsequent complaint in October 2024 regarding work contrary to a stop work order was also deemed unsubstantiated based on department records. The building's permit history shows two electrical work permits issued in July and January 2019, suggesting some maintenance activity during that period.
