315 Hancock Street, Brooklyn, NY 11216
The three-story, three-unit residential building at 315 Hancock Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Grace Glover, was constructed in 1905 and has experienced several significant events in recent years, with the most critical occurring in late 2024. In December 2024, the building was rendered non-code compliant due to fire damage, leaving the roof open to the elements with charred and missing structural elements.
This incident led to a full vacate order being served on December 25, 2024, and an active violation status has been recorded with the Department of Buildings. Prior to the 2024 fire incident, the building faced multiple maintenance challenges. Most recently, in November 2024, there were complaints about lack of heat and hot water throughout the building, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify the conditions.
Three open violations from November 2024 indicate needed repairs in the third-story public hall, including issues with a leaking roof, damaged fire-retardant plaster, and the requirement to repaint using light-colored paint. There were also recurring issues with bedbug reporting compliance, with open violations in 2024 and 2023, though the bedbug reports from 2020-2021 indicated no infestation. The building's rodent inspection history shows the most recent inspections in 2024 and 2022 passed, following an initial rat activity result in December 2019.
