104 Hancock Street, Brooklyn, NY 11216
104 Hancock Street, a three-unit residential building in Bedford-Stuyvesant owned by Melvin Douglas, has faced persistent maintenance challenges since 2021, with particular issues related to rodent control and water management. Most recently, in June 2025, the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) issued a summons to the owner regarding standing water on the property, following an inspection.
This was preceded by another standing water complaint in May 2025, where inspectors were unable to access the building. The property has experienced recurring rodent-related issues, with multiple complaints filed between 2021 and 2024, including violations found during inspections in May 2024 and June 2023. The building's rodent inspection history shows a pattern of both passed and failed inspections, with the most recent initial inspection in February 2025 showing compliance, though a July 2024 compliance inspection had failed for other reasons.
The building, constructed in 1883 and classified as "HEREAFTER CONVERTED CLASS A," has also experienced issues with bedbug reporting compliance. While the property has filed annual bedbug reports from 2020 through 2023 showing no affected dwelling units, there remains an open violation as of April 2024 regarding bedbug report filing requirements. The building's inspection history suggests some progress, with several passed inspections in 2023 and 2025, though the pattern of failed inspections and violation notices indicates ongoing maintenance challenges that have required regular follow-up inspections and interventions by health authorities.
