348A Hancock Street, Brooklyn, NY 11216

348A Hancock Street is a 2-family residential building in Bedford-Stuyvesant, constructed in 1899 and currently owned by Nadya Mingo. The property has experienced several notable maintenance issues over the past five years, with the most recent being a rodent infestation identified in June 2024, though it passed a compliance inspection in July 2024.

Between 2019 and 2021, the building faced multiple concerning conditions, including electrical problems (wiring issues and a power outage), unsanitary conditions with reports of mold, and pest infestations, particularly during early 2019 when multiple violations were documented under the Housing Maintenance Code. These violations included broken plaster surfaces and paint issues in various areas, including the second-floor apartment's bathroom and kitchen, as well as problems in public areas. The building has undergone several rodent control measures, with multiple bait applications recorded in late 2019, and more recently in 2022 and 2024, indicating ongoing pest management efforts.

The building's documented history reveals recurring maintenance challenges, particularly regarding electrical systems, sanitation, and pest control. While many of the earlier violations from 2019 appear to have been addressed, as evidenced by past inspection results showing "Passed" status, the relatively recent rodent activity noted in both 2024 and 2022 suggests that pest management remains an ongoing concern. The property has also experienced one power outage incident in late 2021, though no violations were found upon HPD inspection.
