Augrented Insights Report for 1359 Hancock Street

1359 Hancock Street is a 3-story, 6-unit tenement building constructed in 1907, currently owned by Joel Weiss. The building has experienced significant maintenance issues in recent years, with multiple violations and service requests primarily related to plumbing, water leaks, and pests.

Most notably, there are active ECB violations from August-September 2024 concerning serious structural issues, including a collapsed kitchen ceiling in Apartment 3L and problems with the exterior masonry wall and parapet. The building has a concerning pattern of water-related issues, with multiple complaints about heavy water flow and plumbing problems in early 2025, as well as ongoing violations related to external low pressure inspection failures from 2023-2024. The property has faced recurring sanitation challenges, particularly with rodent activity, showing multiple instances of rat activity from 2020 through 2023, though recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 passed without issues.

Apartment 3L has documented maintenance problems including defective kitchen floor tiles, sink issues, and various bathroom repairs needed. The building also experienced structural concerns in mid-2024, with multiple complaints about shaking or vibrating patterns, though some inspections found no violations. While there have been some rodent control successes in recent inspections, the overall maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with building upkeep and prompt violation resolution, as evidenced by multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations and 311 service requests spanning from 2020 through 2025.
