8 Hancock Street, Brooklyn, NY 11216
The three-story, three-unit building at 8 Hancock Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Ronald Mcgrew and constructed in 1899, has experienced persistent pest management challenges over the past several years. Most notably, the property has accumulated four consecutive annual violations (2021-2024) related to the failure to file mandatory annual bedbug reports as per Housing Maintenance Code requirements, with these violations still remaining open as of April 2024.
The building also had a pattern of rodent activity throughout 2024, with multiple instances requiring bait application between March and June 2024, though recent inspections from March 2025 and September 2024 have shown passed results. While there have been significant rodent control efforts documented, including bait application and compliance inspections, the building's pest management history suggests ongoing challenges with both bedbug reporting compliance and rodent activity, with the most recent inspections showing some improvement in rodent control measures.
The building's inspection history reveals a period of particular concern regarding rodent activity in 2024, with multiple instances of rat activity recorded between March and April 2024, though subsequent inspections in 2025 and September 2024 have shown improvement with passed results. The persistence of open bedbug report violations from 2021 through 2024 represents a continuing compliance issue, despite the completion of recent inspections since September 2024. While the property has passed recent rodent inspections, including a March 2025 inspection, the historical pattern of pest management violations suggests that both bedbug reporting compliance and rodent control have been significant ongoing challenges for this building.
