225 Hancock Street, Brooklyn, NY 11216
The three-story, three-unit residential building at 225 Hancock Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Paz Peters, has notable concerns regarding pest management as of mid-2025. The property has faced recurring issues with both bedbugs and rodent activity over the past several years.
Most significantly, there are ongoing Housing Maintenance Code violations related to bedbug reporting, with open violations recorded in 2024, 2023, 2022, and 2021, all indicating the building owner's failure to file the required annual bedbug report with the NYC Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) agency. The building has also experienced persistent rodent problems in 2024 and 2025, as evidenced by multiple inspections showing rat activity.
The most recent inspection in July 2025 confirmed rat activity, and there have been several instances of bait application throughout 2025 (March, April, July) and 2024 (May, June, July). The pattern of violations and the frequency of pest control interventions suggest ongoing challenges with building maintenance and pest management, which may impact resident comfort and safety. The property, which has been classified as "HEREAFTER CONVERTED CLASS A" despite its 1885 origins, continues to grapple with these unresolved pest control issues more than three years into the current reporting period.
