Augrented Insights Report for 148 Hancock Street

The 25-unit, 5-story tenement building at 148 Hancock Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Carl Zimmer and built in 1899, has experienced numerous concerning maintenance issues over the past several years. Most recently, in March 2025, there were reports of heat and hot water problems affecting the entire building.

The latter half of 2024 and early 2025 has seen recurring rodent problems, with multiple inspections confirming rat activity and the application of bait throughout 2025. Significant building maintenance issues have persisted, including water leaks, mold, and interior surface deterioration, with multiple complaints in late 2024 regarding unsanitary conditions, paint/plaster issues, and the failure of HPD to complete inspections.

The building also has open violations from October 2024 related to both the roof door/hatch and skylight, and more recent violations from 2023-2024 regarding the absence of smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in Apartment 2E, requiring the repair of fire-retardant plaster in common areas, and the need to address various safety concerns in the public hall areas. While the building's bedbug reports from 2022-2024 show no confirmed infestations, the property has a pattern of compliance issues with external inspections, with active violations as of 2023 for failure to file various external low-pressure inspections between 2018-2021, and an open violation from February 2025 that requires follow-up investigation.
