433 Hancock Street, Brooklyn, NY 11216

The three-unit, three-story building at 433 Hancock Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Erik Green, has experienced several notable maintenance issues since 2021, with the most recent significant incident occurring in October 2022 involving a building-wide heat and hot water emergency that was promptly addressed within four days. A cluster of violations was documented in August 2021 following an inspection of Apartment 2, including mold issues in the bathroom, ceiling problems requiring painting, and multiple safety concerns such as a missing smoke detector, nonfunctional carbon monoxide detector, locked fire escape door, and non-self-closing doors.

Additional building-wide concerns were identified, including a loose wood tread in the public hall stairs. The building's safety and maintenance record shows some positive trends in recent years. Notably, there have been no reported bedbug infestations since 2019, with the most recent bedbug report (December 2024) indicating zero infested units.

The property has passed recent rodent inspections in 2019, 2022, and most recently in June 2024, suggesting effective pest management practices. While the building's maintenance history shows periods of concerning conditions, particularly in 2021, the timely response to heating issues and the absence of recurring infestations or serious violations in recent years indicates improvements in building management and maintenance practices. The property has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, consistently reporting zero infestations in the past five years.
