1358 Hancock Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237

This three-story, 6-unit tenement building at 1358 Hancock Street in Bushwick, owned by Abe Green and built in 1906, has experienced recurring maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing concerns emerging in 2025. The property has documented multiple water-related problems, including two water leak complaints and mold-related issues in May 2025 alone. The building's history shows persistent challenges with water damage and mold, particularly in apartment 2R, which has been the focus of several violations and complaints.

A December 2024 inspection revealed multiple violations in apartment 2R, including problems with mold, peeling paint, roach infestation, and issues with window guards and self-closing doors, though most of these violations were later certified as closed by January 2025. The building's maintenance record shows a mixture of compliance and violation history, with some recent improvements in rodent control, as indicated by passed inspections in 2024-2025, though there was one failed inspection in April 2024. The property has maintained a clean bedbug record over the past five years, with no reported infestations.

While the building has passed recent HPD inspections for some complaints, the recurring nature of water-related issues and mold problems suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The most recent service requests in 2025 indicate that while some issues were resolved, others continue to present challenges, such as water leaks and mold conditions. The building's history shows a pattern of moisture-related issues, with multiple water leak complaints spanning different reporting periods, including slow leaks and damp spots. Notably, there have been several instances where HPD inspections were not completed, particularly regarding pest issues and ventilation systems, indicating potential difficulties in addressing certain maintenance concerns.
