1347 Hancock Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237

1347 Hancock Street is a six-unit, three-story New Law tenement building located in Bushwick, built in 1907 and currently owned by Carmela Dragonetti. The property has experienced persistent maintenance challenges, particularly in relation to building safety requirements. Most notably, there are two active violations as of June 2023 for the failure to file 2019 and 2020 external low-pressure inspections, with no recorded disposition dates.

The building has also faced issues with rodent activity, as evidenced by multiple bait application treatments throughout 2023 (April - June), and reports of rat activity in March and April 2024. While the most recent rodent inspections in early 2025 showed passing results, the frequency of rodent control measures in 2023 suggests a previous significant pest control issue. The building has a documented history of bedbug reporting violations from 2021 to 2023, though most recent filings (January 2024 and May 2025) show no infested units, with all units listed as "0" for infested, eradicated, and re-infested dwelling units.

This indicates successful compliance with bedbug eradication requirements in recent years. Despite these improvements, the property's history of both rodent and bedbug issues, along with the current unaddressed low-pressure inspection violations, suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The building's inspection record shows a pattern of responding to housing maintenance code requirements, though often after receiving violations, with recent inspections indicating improved conditions as of 2025.
