1335 Hancock Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237

The three-story, six-unit tenement building at 1335 Hancock Street in Bushwick, owned by Aron Stark, has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past several years. Most notably, there have been persistent heating and hot water problems, with multiple complaints recorded in early 2025 alone, including a building-wide heat/hot water complaint in February 2025 and associated violations. The building has also faced challenges related to basic utilities, as evidenced by closed 311 service requests for cooking gas issues in May 2025 and lighting problems in April 2025.

The property has an active rodent infestation history, with rat activity documented during inspections in 2023, 2024, and 2025. Additional notable violations include an open bedbug report requirement from April 2024, a C-class violation for inadequate hot water supply in apartment 2L, and several safety concerns identified in 2023 regarding fire escape access and defective concrete treads at the stoop. Recent inspections in 2025 for boiler-related complaints did not warrant any violations, though there have been multiple heating system-related complaints throughout the year.

Plumbing issues have been a recurring theme, with several emergency complaints recorded in April 2025 related to water supply systems, while electrical concerns were briefly noted in a no-lighting complaint. The building's maintenance record shows a pattern of both emergency and non-emergency issues being reported and subsequently closed by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), indicating ongoing attention to building systems, though some violations remain open as of the latest available data. The property has experienced intermittent issues with basic amenities across multiple units, including heating, hot water, and gas service, with inspectors frequently issuing violations requiring correction.
