1328 Hancock Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237
1328 Hancock Street is a 3-story, 6-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1909, currently owned by Tom Rosenberg. The property has experienced ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly regarding pest control, with rat activity recorded in multiple inspections throughout 2023 and 2024, and the most recent inspection in May 2025 continuing to show rat activity despite prior baiting interventions. Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) has documented multiple recent complaints from April 2023 related to building maintenance issues, including problems with ceilings and floors, which were reportedly corrected and closed in early 2024.
The building's historical violation record shows various maintenance issues between 2006 and 2017, including electrical problems in 2016 (Apt 2L), window issues in 2007 (Apt 1L), and multiple violations concerning the 3rd-story public hall. These earlier violations, which included both Class A and Class B citations, were certified as resolved by 2021. The property has consistently shown active management of bedbug prevention, with multiple annual filings between 2020 and 2024 indicating zero infested units during each reporting period.
While there have been regular rodent inspections and baiting efforts, the persistence of rat activity as of the latest inspection suggests ongoing pest management challenges. The building received a structural work permit in March 2019, indicating some level of maintenance activity, though specific details of the work are not provided in the available data. The frequency of rodent sightings and interventions, combined with the recent flooring and ceiling complaints, suggests that while some maintenance issues are being addressed, others continue to present challenges for residents.
