1060 Hancock Street, Brooklyn, NY 11221

1060 Hancock Street is a 4-story, 27-unit residential building located in Bushwick, built in 1916 and currently owned by Jay Lubin. The property has experienced recurrent plumbing issues in recent months, with five separate plumbing-related complaints logged between April 22-29, 2025, all involving water supply problems, and one complaint regarding bathtub/shower issues during the same period.

A significant heat and hot water violation was recorded in November 2024 (Class C), though the property owner was given time to correct the condition. The building has a history of maintenance issues that have required attention, including water leak concerns (December 2023), ceiling plaster/paint issues, and various plumbing matters documented in late 2023, though inspections did not result in violations for these complaints. The property has shown consistent efforts to maintain safety standards, as evidenced by passing rodent inspections conducted annually from 2014 through 2025.

Previous violations have included fire escape obstructions (2024), door maintenance issues (affecting apartments 5 and 25), and unauthorized electrical work (2018). While there were multiple electrical-related violations in 2018 regarding unpermitted work and unsafe equipment in public hallways, these were resolved, as were various door-related violations requiring repairs and proper closing mechanisms. The building has maintained a positive record regarding bedbug issues, with no reported infestations in the past five years, and only one documented case in 2018 that was promptly addressed.
