1 Hanson Place, Brooklyn, NY 11217

1 Hanson Place is an 18-story, 179-unit residential building constructed in 1929, currently owned by Lisa Vehrenkamp. The property has experienced several recurrent maintenance issues over recent years, with notable concerns regarding water leaks and heating systems. Most recently, in early 2024, there were complaints about water leaks and ceiling plaster issues, though these were marked as closed complaints. The building faced multiple heating-related emergencies during August 2018, affecting the entire building and resulting in violations.

Of particular note are the recurring Local Law 188/17 Compliance Inspections, with active complaints showing ongoing oversight (as of 2024-2025) and earlier complaints receiving "No Violation Warranted" dispositions. The building's elevator system has encountered several issues, with multiple violations and a temporary out-of-service condition in 2018 that resulted in a $1,250 penalty. Exterior maintenance has also been an issue, as evidenced by a 2022 violation for façade and appurtenance maintenance, though this was resolved with a penalty of $625. Recent inspections have shown the building to be free of bedbug infestations since 2018, with consistent zero counts for infested, eradicated, and re-infested units.

The property has maintained compliance with health inspection requirements, passing rodent inspections in 2022 and receiving no health code violations related to cooling tower and rodent complaints in 2022. Multiple permits have been issued for various maintenance and repair work on the building between 2018 and 2022, indicating ongoing maintenance efforts. The building's management has shown responsiveness to 311 service requests, though access issues were noted in some inspections. While many historical violations have been resolved, the pattern of repeated inspection requests and compliance checks suggests continued scrutiny from various city agencies.
