367 Hancock Street, Brooklyn, NY 11216

The three-unit, three-story residential building at 367 Hancock Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Ernestine Belle and constructed in 1905, has a concerning pattern of open housing maintenance code violations relating to bedbug reporting requirements. Specifically, the building has received annual violations from 2021 through 2024, marking four consecutive years (2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024) for failing to file the mandatory annual bedbug reports as required under Section HMC of the Housing Maintenance Code.

While these violations are administrative in nature, they suggest ongoing non-compliance with city health and safety requirements. On a somewhat positive note, the building has demonstrated consistent success in passing rodent inspections, with records showing passed inspections in 2018 (March and September), 2019 (March, September, and December), 2022 (September), and most recently in 2024 (June).

This pattern of compliance indicates effective management of pest control with respect to rodents, though it's important to note that rodent inspections are separate from bedbug reporting requirements. The building's most recent documented rodent inspection was conducted just one month before the current date (July 2025). Please note that while the building has maintained regular rodent inspections and passed, the persistent bedbug report violations indicate an area of concern regarding compliance with housing maintenance requirements.
