1353 Hancock Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237

The three-story, six-unit New Law Tenement building at 1353 Hancock Street in Bushwick, owned by Gloria Robinson, has had a mixed record of maintenance and compliance since 2019. The most recent concerns involve a mailbox issue reported in April 2025 that resulted in violations from HPD, which were noted to require owner corrections. Prior to this, there was a pest-related complaint in November 2022 that HPD could not inspect due to access issues.

The building experienced a violation in late 2019 regarding an unfiled boiler inspection report, which was subsequently dismissed after a $500 penalty was paid. In 2022, there was an investigation into work done without a permit, though no violations were found upon inspection. The property's pest control record has been consistently good in recent years, with the most recent bedbug reports (2023-2024 and 2024-2025) showing zero infested or eradicated units.

Additionally, rodent inspections have generally resulted in passing grades, with the most recent May 2025 inspection showing compliance. However, a rat activity report was noted in March 2022, indicating some past concerns in this area. While there have been several complaints and violations, the building has maintained an overall stable environment with regular compliance inspections and no recurring infestations or major systemic issues reported in recent years. The owner has generally addressed violations when cited, though some recent issues regarding the mailbox appear to be in the correction process as of mid-2025.
