Augrented Insights Report for 227 Hancock Street

227 Hancock Street is a 4-story, 16-unit residential tenement building constructed in 1881, currently owned by Heather Lipman. The property has experienced several concerning maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing being recent rodent activity, as evidenced by inspections in June and July 2025 showing rat activity. The building has multiple open violations and ongoing maintenance concerns, including an open Category B violation from October 2024 regarding roof leaks in the 4th-story public hall, and various violations related to apartment 15 conditions such as painting requirements, smoke detector issues, and floor covering problems.

In late 2024, multiple emergency and non-emergency complaints were filed regarding paint/plaster conditions in walls, ceilings, and radiators, with some violations issued and others closed without violations. The building's heating and hot water systems have also been a source of concern, with emergency complaints in December 2024 and January 2025 regarding access issues during inspections. The property has undergone several inspections and service requests over the past few years, including regular housing maintenance code inspections.

While there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the past five reporting periods, the building has experienced ongoing rodent issues, with multiple inspections showing rat activity and bait application throughout 2024 and 2025. Historical records show various improvements and maintenance efforts, including electrical work and plumbing permits issued in 2018-2019, though there are currently two active Department of Buildings violations from 2019 and 2023 regarding failure to file inspection reports and failure to certify corrections. The building's management has demonstrated some responsiveness to violation notices, as evidenced by multiple closed violations, but persistent issues like the rodent activity and recurring maintenance complaints suggest ongoing challenges with building upkeep and resident comfort.
