223 Hancock Street, Brooklyn, NY 11216
The three-story, four-unit residential building at 223 Hancock Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Pamela Abalu, has experienced several significant events in recent years, with the most pressing being a heat and hot water emergency in January 2025 that was promptly resolved within two days.
The building has maintained a regular schedule of rodent inspections, with the most recent showing rat activity in July 2025, marking a concerning deviation from the otherwise consistent pattern of passing inspections since 2020.
While the property underwent a period of bedbug-related violations between 2021 and 2023, with multiple Notices of Violation issued regarding the failure to submit annual bedbug reports, these concerns appear to have been resolved, as the most recent bedbug filings from 2024 and 2025 show no infested or re-infested units reported during the specified periods. The building has demonstrated generally good compliance with housing maintenance requirements, with most violations being promptly addressed and closed, though the recent heating system interruption and rodent activity warrant attention as potential quality of life concerns for residents.
