243 Hancock Street, Brooklyn, NY 11216

The 12-unit, 4-story brownstone at 243 Hancock Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Danielle Minelli Pagnptta, has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues over the past several years, with the most recent complaints occurring in May 2025 and prior incidents in February 2025, as well as multiple incidents throughout 2023 and 2022. While several of these complaints have been closed after verification of corrections, at least one May 2025 complaint remains open, and another was recently closed. The building has also faced infrastructure challenges, as evidenced by three active violations from June 2023 for failure to file external low-pressure inspections from 2018 and 2020.

The property has undergone several inspections and received various violations addressing safety and maintenance concerns. In the past, there were significant issues with hot water temperature regulation in apartments 2A and 3B (2020), and during 2020 inspections, multiple violations were noted regarding sprinkler system maintenance, including open valves and missing equipment. However, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in the past five years.

Regular rodent inspections conducted between 2019 and 2025 have consistently passed, indicating effective pest management. The building's administrative records show proper documentation of permits and repairs, though there were some periods of inspection non-compliance that resulted in violations. These include requirements for annual bedbug reporting (2023) and various safety equipment maintenance issues noted in several inspection reports.
