Augrented Insights Report for 280 Hancock Street

280 Hancock Street is a three-story, three-unit residential building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, owned by Shearene Fletcher and constructed in 1891. The building has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues over the past decade, most notably regarding pest control and infrastructure safety. Between 2018 and 2024, the property received multiple citations for failing to file required annual bedbug reports, though recent filings in 2024 and 2025 indicate no current infestations.

The building's gas and safety systems were a particular concern in 2018, with multiple class C violations recorded for inadequate gas supply, hot water access, and missing safety devices in apartment 2, along with a class A violation for inadequate management supervision. The Department of Buildings issued three active violations in 2018 related to unauthorized plumbing work and gas system installation, with penalties totaling $19,000. More recently, there has been persistent rodent activity, with the latest inspections in mid-2025 confirming rat activity, though previous inspections had shown improvement with passing results in other areas.

The property has undergone regular inspections and received various maintenance citations between 2018 and 2024, including a notable unsanitary condition complaint regarding garbage storage in 2021 that was investigated but resulted in no violations. While many historical violations have been closed, the building continues to experience some rodent control challenges, according to recent inspections. The most recent bedbug reporting and inspection shows no active infestations as of July 2025, marking an improvement in this area compared to previous years when violations were consistently issued for late reporting. The building's conversion to Club B status suggests changes in its operational classification, though specific details of this conversion are not provided in the available data.
