132 Hancock Street, Brooklyn, NY 11216

The 6-unit residential building at 132 Hancock Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, currently owned by Itshak Agaeliahu, has experienced several notable maintenance issues since 2021. Most recently, in January 2024, there was a water leak reported and subsequently verified by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), though this issue was resolved within a week.

In 2021, there was an unsanitary condition complaint related to pests that HPD could not inspect due to access issues. The building has also faced consistent administrative challenges regarding bedbug reporting requirements, receiving Notices of Violation in 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024 for failure to file the required annual bedbug report, though no actual infestations were reported in subsequent filings (2022-2025). The property has demonstrated variable rodent management outcomes over recent years.

Between 2022 and 2023, there were periods of active rat activity, as evidenced by "Bait Applied" and "Rat Activity" inspection results in spring/summer 2022. However, inspections conducted in 2024 and early 2025 have all passed, suggesting improved rodent control in recent months. The building, constructed in 1886 and classified as a "HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS A" structure, has maintained a consistent six-unit configuration throughout its recent history, and while it has faced periodic maintenance challenges, recent data indicates an overall trend towards improved pest management and building maintenance.
