1245 Hancock Street, Brooklyn, NY 11221

The two-family home at 1245 Hancock Street in Bushwick, owned by Lucius Pettway, has maintained a generally positive housing record since its construction in 1910, with regular inspections and compliance in key areas.

The property has consistently passed rodent inspections over the past decade, with the most recent successful inspections occurring in April 2025 and April 2024, demonstrating effective pest management practices. However, there is a concerning pattern of non-compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with four consecutive Housing Maintenance Code violations recorded between 2021 and 2024, all related to the failure to file the mandatory annual bedbug reports as required by HPD regulations.

While these violations are administrative in nature and do not necessarily indicate an active bedbug infestation, the persistent nature of these violations over multiple years suggests ongoing challenges with compliance in this area. The building's age and relatively small size (two stories with two units) are consistent with its designation as a "HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS A" building, indicating it has been converted from a different use to a residential property.
