16-16 Hancock Street, Queens, NY 11385
The 2-story, 3-unit building at 16-16 Hancock Street in Ridgewood, owned by Anna Polizzi, has experienced a series of maintenance issues in recent years, most notably in 2024. The most significant current concerns include multiple open violations from an August 2024 inspection, particularly in apartment 2L, which has documented issues with pest infestations (mice), defective plastered surfaces, and problems with safety equipment including smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors.
The building has also experienced recurring pest problems, as evidenced by its most recent rodent inspection in November 2024 showing rat activity, following similar findings in September 2024 and an unsanitary condition complaint in August 2024. Other recent maintenance issues include a power outage in June 2024 and a heat/hot water complaint in December 2023, though no violations were issued for the power outage, and HPD inspectors were unable to gain access to verify the heating issues. The building's condition has raised multiple safety concerns, as demonstrated by several open violations from the August 2024 inspection regarding the need for proper notices about gas leak procedures, carbon monoxide detection requirements, smoke detector requirements, and the building's inspection certificate.
The building's entrance systems also appear to be in disrepair, with open violations related to the bell, buzzer, and intercom system. While there have been periods of compliance regarding rodent activity, the most recent inspections in 2024 indicate ongoing pest control challenges. The building's documented history shows a pattern of maintenance issues that requires attention, with particular emphasis on safety systems and pest control.
