408 Hancock Street, Brooklyn, NY 11216

The three-story, three-unit building at 408 Hancock Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Tammy Wong and built in 1899, has maintained a generally positive record over recent years with respect to major health and safety concerns. Most notably, the building has consistently passed bedbug inspections since 2021, with no infestations reported in any of the eight consecutive annual filings, including the most recent 2025 report.

The property has also successfully passed recent rodent inspections in 2022 and 2024, indicating effective pest management practices. The building's most significant historical violations occurred in 2018, when multiple Department of Buildings (DOB) and Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations were issued related to illegal gas installations and work without proper permits. These included concerns about uninspected gas piping for hot water heating and cooking appliances, as well as tampering with a posted stop work order.

While several violations carried monetary penalties totaling $3,750, all were ultimately resolved and dismissed by late 2018, with no outstanding balance due. Since then, there have been no major violations or safety concerns recorded, and the building's routine bedbug and rodent inspections suggest proper ongoing maintenance and compliance with housing codes. Recent bedbug report filings from 2023 through 2025 show zero infested or re-infested units, indicating successful pest management practices.
