1208 Hancock Street, Brooklyn, NY 11221
The two-unit, two-story building at 1208 Hancock Street in Bushwick, owned by Roosevelt Chavis, has been subject to recurring housing maintenance code violations related to bedbug reporting requirements over the past four years. Specifically, from 2021 through 2024, the building received violations for failing to file the annual bedbug report as mandated by HPD rules, with the most recent such violation recorded in April 2024 and still showing as open.
While this violation represents a compliance issue, it's worth noting that these violations do not necessarily indicate an active bedbug infestation, but rather a failure to complete required paperwork. The building has maintained a mostly favorable record regarding rodent inspections, with passed results recorded in May 2025, March 2024, February 2023, and 2022.
However, there were two incidents of rat activity recorded in 2018 (September and March), suggesting there may have been a period of rodent-related challenges during that time. Since then, the building has consistently passed all rodent inspections, indicating improved pest management. The property, constructed in 1899, falls under the category of "HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS A" buildings and has a typical two-story configuration for its age and unit count.
