Augrented Insights Report for 44 Hancock Street

44 Hancock Street is a 4-story, 7-unit residential building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant and owned by Herminio Torres. The property has experienced recurring issues with heating and hot water, with the most recent complaints filed between December 2024 and January 2025, though most were found not to violate HPD's housing laws.

More significantly, the building has faced multiple safety and maintenance concerns in 2025, including emergency plumbing issues, door problems, and the absence of critical safety systems such as smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. The third-floor apartment (3R) has documented violations relating to paint and plaster conditions, window repairs, and safety requirements, though many of these issues were addressed and certified as corrected between July and December 2024. The building has undergone several rodent control measures throughout 2024-2025, with multiple inspections confirming rat activity and bait application between January and July 2025.

A significant complaint regarding an illegal conversion was filed in March 2024, but the inspector was unable to gain access to verify the claims. The property has maintained a relatively clean bedbug record, with only one reported case in 2022-2023, which was verified as eradicated. While there have been multiple maintenance code complaints and housing violations, many have been resolved, though as of 2024, there were still open violations related to interior paint conditions in 3R and bathroom door issues in 4F.
