193 Hancock Street, Brooklyn, NY 11216

The three-story brownstone at 193 Hancock Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, built in 1886 and currently owned by Anastasia Burlyuk, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over recent years. Most notably in 2018, the building faced serious structural concerns with multiple violations related to deteriorating concrete steps, water leaks in ceilings, and various plaster and paint deficiencies across both apartments. There were also substantial problems with the front facade, including reports of displaced brownstone affecting the stoop and sidewalk, which prompted multiple violations and ECB fines for failure to maintain building code compliance.

Between 2019 and 2020, the property accumulated additional violations related to debris management and construction work without proper permits. More recent history shows ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly regarding rodent activity, with inspections in 2023-2025 showing consistent rat activity, though some inspections have passed. There are currently active violations related to external low-pressure inspection requirements as of April 2023.

Recent permit activity includes several approved work projects between 2019 and 2025, with the most recent permit issued in May 2025. The building's violation history shows a pattern of delayed responses to maintenance issues, though some violations from 2018-2020 were eventually resolved or dismissed. A bedbug report from late 2024 shows no current infestations, indicating successful eradication efforts. Major construction projects have been documented through multiple work permits, suggesting ongoing efforts to address the building's maintenance needs, though some historical violations and safety concerns remain on record.
