285 Hancock Street, Brooklyn, NY 11216
The three-story, three-unit residential building at 285 Hancock Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Janice Alleyne, has a consistent inspection and violation history spanning several years. The 1890 structure, classified as HEREAFTER CONVERTED CLASS B, has faced recurring issues with bedbug reporting compliance, evidenced by open violations in 2023 and 2024, and prior violations in 2021 and 2022, all related to the failure to file the mandatory annual bedbug report as required under Housing Maintenance Code.
The building also has an active violation with the Department of Buildings from November 2019 concerning the failure to file the 2017 boiler inspection report. Importantly, the building has maintained a clean record in terms of rodent inspections, with all inspections between 2019 and 2025 passing successfully, showing consistent attention to pest management.
The bedbug situation appears to have been managed more effectively since the 2020-2021 reporting period, which documented zero infested or re-infested dwelling units, though the recurring reporting violations suggest administrative oversight rather than active infestations. The building's overall maintenance record shows regular inspections and prompt attention to most violations, with the exception of the ongoing bedbug reporting issues and the historical boiler inspection violation.
