16-13 Hancock Street, Queens, NY 11385
16-13 Hancock Street is a 2-story, 4-unit New Law Tenement building located in Ridgewood and owned by Jason Greenberg, dating back to 1931. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues throughout 2024-2025, with multiple emergency complaints filed between October 2024 and February 2025, though HPD inspections found varying levels of access and compliance. Notably, there is one open violation from October 2024 concerning self-closing door issues in Apartment 2R, and a rodent infestation violation from April 2024, although a June 2024 rat-related inspection found no evidence of activity while more recent inspections in September-November 2024 showed rat activity followed by compliance.
Other maintenance concerns include an electrical lighting issue documented in September 2023, window safety concerns, and various safety notice requirements related to smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and gas leak procedures in January 2023. The building underwent significant scrutiny for rodent issues in 2024, with multiple inspections showing rat activity, though recent inspections indicate improvements. Historically, there have been complaints about unauthorized work and construction activities in October 2024, though inspectors were unable to gain access for verification.
The property maintains a clean record for bedbug infestations over the past five years, with no reports of infested or re-infested units since 2019. While several violations have been documented, including safety and code compliance issues, many have been addressed or closed, indicating ongoing maintenance attention to building requirements. Recent heat and hot water complaints suggest persistent temperature control challenges, but HPD inspections have generally found varying levels of compliance upon investigation.
