353 Hancock Street, Brooklyn, NY 11216

353 Hancock Street is a three-story, three-unit residential building constructed in 1905 in the Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood, currently owned by Hugh Boston. The property has experienced consistent regulatory scrutiny over its bedbug reporting compliance, with open violations recorded annually between 2021 and 2024, all citing the failure to file required annual bedbug reports as mandated by the Housing Maintenance Code.

While these violations are administrative in nature, their recurrence suggests potential challenges with regulatory compliance. On a more positive note, the building has maintained a clean record regarding rodent inspections, with the most recent inspection in June 2024 resulting in a passing grade.

This follows a consistent pattern of successful rodent inspections since 2019, with one instance of recorded rat activity in March 2018, which appears to have been addressed through subsequent compliance inspections that passed. The building's rodent management history indicates effective pest control measures in this regard, contrasting with the ongoing issues related to bedbug reporting compliance. While the building has no significant safety violations on record, the persistent bedbug reporting violations represent the most notable area of concern regarding regulatory compliance and resident experience.
