1352 Hancock Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237

The three-story, six-unit tenement at 1352 Hancock Street in Bushwick, built in 1906 and currently owned by Shloma Stuhl, has experienced recurring heating system issues in recent years. Most notably, in November 2024, there were multiple emergency heat/hot water complaints affecting the entire building, though Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) was unable to gain access for inspection.

A similar building-wide heat/hot water problem was reported and resolved in March 2022, while an apartment-specific incident occurred in October 2021. The building has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since 2021, showing no infestation cases, and recent rodent inspections from 2025 and 2024 passed, though there were several instances of rat activity and bait application between 2022 and 2023. The building's maintenance history includes a non-emergency paint/plaster complaint regarding wall conditions in October 2021, which was resolved.

In October 2021, there was a significant Department of Buildings complaint regarding blocked egress in public passageways caused by bicycles and household items, resulting in a $1,250 penalty that appears to have been resolved. The property has shown consistent compliance with housing maintenance requirements in recent bedbug filings (2021-2025), all reporting zero infested or eradicated units. Despite the recurring heat issues, the building's overall maintenance record shows regular attention to both emergency and non-emergency repairs, with most recent violations being promptly addressed.
