64 Hancock Street, Brooklyn, NY 11216
The three-story, two-unit building at 64 Hancock Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Steve Goldschmied, has a significant history of maintenance issues and violations since 2020. Most concerning are the current open violations from late 2023 and early 2024, including safety issues in the public hall on the 3rd story such as missing wood balusters, a defective handrail, a missing metal screen below the skylight, and problems with the iron ladder leading to the roof scuttle opening.
The building also has an ongoing obligation to file annual bedbug reports with HPD, with violations for this requirement documented in 2022, 2023, and most recently in 2024. The property has experienced recurring issues with the front vestibule door and window conditions, as evidenced by HPD complaints in 2020.
While the building has passed recent rodent inspections in 2023-2025, there were documented rat activity issues in 2021 and early 2022, though these appear to have been resolved. The most serious safety concerns appear to be related to the building's 3rd-story public hall, where multiple violations remain open as of 2023, including problems with stair safety features and fire egress compliance. The building's age (built in 1880) and history of various maintenance issues suggest ongoing challenges with building upkeep and compliance with safety regulations.
