138 Hancock Street, Brooklyn, NY 11216
138 Hancock Street is an 8-unit, 3-story residential building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, constructed in 1885 and currently owned by Allison Manley. The property has experienced recurring issues with heating and hot water, as evidenced by two emergency complaints in late October/early November 2023, though HPD inspections following these complaints resulted in no violations.
The building has faced several regulatory compliance challenges in recent years, particularly during 2023-2024, including multiple citations related to building safety requirements such as missing smoke detector notices, inspection certificates, and maintenance of self-closing doors. Notable violations from 2023-2024 include issues with the building entrance door, vestibule door, and various safety notice requirements, though all violations have been closed as of October 2024.
The building's maintenance history shows a generally proactive approach to pest management, with regular bedbug reporting (most recently in 2024 showing no current infestations) and consistent rodent inspection passes since 2019, though there was one instance of bait application in September 2019. A series of housing maintenance code violations were identified in late 2023 through early 2024, including requirements for proper notice postings regarding smoke detectors, gas leak procedures, and other safety-related communications, all of which were certified as corrected by December 2023. The property has maintained a passing record in recent rodent inspections conducted from 2020 through early 2025, suggesting effective pest control measures are in place.
