1210 Hancock Street, Brooklyn, NY 11221

1210 Hancock Street is a two-story, two-unit residential building located in Bushwick, Brooklyn, built in 1899 and currently owned by Rosa Chireno Castro. The property has shown a consistent pattern of bedbug reporting violations, with the most recent Notice of Violation issued in April 2024, and prior violations in 2023, 2022, and 2021, all related to the failure to file the required annual bedbug reports as mandated by the Housing Maintenance Code.

However, the most recent bedbug report filed in May 2024 indicates no infested units, no eradicated units, and no re-infested units during the reporting period from November 2022 to October 2023. The building's rodent inspection history presents a mixed picture, with the most recent inspection in May 2025 revealing rat activity, marking the first failed inspection since 2019.

Prior to this, the building had maintained a good record of passing rodent inspections, with no rat activity reported in inspections conducted from 2019 through 2024, except for an initial inspection in January 2013 which also noted rat activity. The property's relatively stable history of rodent inspections, with multiple consecutive passes before the 2025 inspection, suggests that while pest control has been an ongoing concern, there have been periods of effective management. Additionally, the consistent bedbug reporting violations, now corrected according to the most recent bedbug report, indicate a previous oversight in compliance with housing maintenance requirements that appears to have been addressed, though the building continues to require regular monitoring for both bedbug and rodent issues.
