Augrented Insights Report for 171 Hancock Street

171 Hancock Street is a 4-story, 10-unit residential building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Yisroel Kanar and constructed in 1881. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, particularly between late 2020 and early 2021, with multiple complaints and violations recorded regarding these services, though most were resolved promptly. More recent concerns include a rat sighting in April 2025, which was investigated by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene and resulted in no violations being found.

The building has undergone several rodent inspections in 2024-2025, with most passing except for a notable instance of rat activity in January 2024 and July 2023. Various maintenance issues have been documented, including a 2022 water supply complaint that could not be inspected, and multiple instances of construction-related dust complaints in 2020. The building's history includes several code violations and maintenance challenges, particularly in 2021, when issues such as bedbug reporting compliance, heating system notices, and various maintenance deficiencies were noted.

Inspections conducted in 2021 revealed several violations that were subsequently addressed, including repairs needed for fire retardant materials, lighting, and various building entrance issues. Importantly, the building has maintained a record of zero reported bedbug infestations in recent years, with the most recent filings (2023-2024) showing no affected units. The property has undergone regular rodent inspections, with the most recent three inspections in 2025 showing no violations, suggesting improved pest management practices.
