290 Hancock Street, Brooklyn, NY 11216
290 Hancock Street is a 3-story, 6-unit residential building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Shameika Wade. The 125-year-old property has experienced several notable events in recent years, with the most pressing issues appearing in 2022.
Residents reported a temporary heat and hot water outage in January 2022, though services were restored shortly after HPD's response. In the same month, there was a complaint regarding wall conditions that HPD could not inspect, as well as multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations related to bedbug reporting requirements between 2021 and 2024, which remain open as of October 2023. The building's maintenance record shows consistent attention to rodent control, with multiple inspections between 2020 and 2025.
The most recent inspection in June 2025 passed, following a pattern of successful rodent control measures, though there was some evidence of rat activity noted in June 2023. The property received proper attention to heating system issues in 2022, and while there were some paint/plaster complaints, these were not directly observed by HPD. The building class was designated as "HEREAFTER CONVERTED CLASS A," indicating its status as a regulated multiple dwelling.
