Augrented Insights Report for 398A Hancock Street

The three-story, three-unit building at 398A Hancock Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Joseph Yaakovzadeh, has a significant history of maintenance issues since 2021, with the most pressing concerns focusing on safety systems and recent violations. As of May 2024, there are open violations regarding a defective self-closing door at the first-story vestibule and missing carbon monoxide detector in apartment 4R.

Recent complaints include a March 2025 smoking/vaping violation and a February 2024 plumbing issue involving a basin/sink, though the latter inspection found no violations. The building has experienced recurring problems with heat and hot water, with emergency complaints filed in March 2023 and previously in February 2021, suggesting possible systemic issues with the heating system. The property has undergone multiple inspections for various issues, with significant findings in 2023 including a rodent infestation in apartment 2R, problems with a disconnected cast iron radiator in the basement, and multiple water leak incidents from February-March 2022.

Additionally, there were several unsanitary condition complaints regarding mold and pests in 2022. On a more positive note, the building has consistently passed rodent inspections in 2020, 2022, and most recently in June 2024, and all previous bedbug reporting periods from 2019-2025 show zero infested units. The building's maintenance record shows a mix of serious and routine issues, with particular attention needed on the current open violations related to safety systems and the pattern of heating system complaints.
