1126 Hancock Street, Brooklyn, NY 11221

1126 Hancock Street is a two-family house located in Bushwick, Brooklyn, built in 1910 and currently owned by Nelcy Vasquez. The building has experienced several maintenance issues over the past five years, with the most recent concerns being a series of pest-related complaints. In late 2022, there were multiple reports of unsanitary conditions related to pests, and while some inspections were conducted, no violations were issued.

The building has also faced challenges with heating systems, particularly in 2020-2021, when there were multiple complaints about inadequate heat and hot water, including one involving the entire building in January 2021. Notable technical and maintenance issues include electrical wiring concerns in December 2022, window frame problems in December 2022, and several appliance-related complaints, though inspections generally found no violations. The building has been subject to various Housing Maintenance Code violations, particularly one from August 2020 regarding mold and water leak issues in the first-story public hall, which was upgraded to Class B status.

Additional violations from 2020 included concerns about plastered surfaces, broken door hardware, and a loose roof access ladder. While these violations were certified as addressed in 2021, it is worth noting that the building underwent rodent inspections in 2022, 2024, and most recently in May 2025, all of which passed. The property has two open Class B violations from 2020 that remain unresolved as of now, though they have been marked as certified.
