Augrented Insights Report for 299 Hancock Street

299 Hancock Street is a 4-story, 7-unit old law tenement building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, built in 1889 and currently owned by Noemi Martinez. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with three emergency complaints reported in recent years (2023-2025), including violations in December 2023 and January 2024 specifically affecting apartments 4A and 4B. Additional building-wide heat-related complaints were documented in 2022, with some violations successfully addressed.

The building has also faced maintenance challenges, including problems with self-closing doors, which were documented in December 2023 inspections. The property has a history of various violations and service requests, including unsanitary conditions related to pests (2021), paint and plaster issues (2021), and multiple heat system-related complaints. Notable safety concerns were addressed in 2021 regarding the fire escape condition, leading to ECB violations for disrepair including broken treads and rust, though these were eventually resolved. Building management has faced scrutiny for not maintaining proper heating systems, as evidenced by multiple violations and service requests.

Recent rodent inspections in 2025 show improved conditions, with the most recent inspection passing. The building's history includes several Department of Buildings complaints regarding unauthorized work and egress issues, though these were ultimately closed without finding violations. Recent inspections show active violations related to low pressure inspection filings from 2022-2023. The property has maintained a record of no bedbug infestations over the past five years, with all reporting periods showing zero infested units.
