16-50 Hancock Street, Queens, NY 11385
16-50 Hancock Street is a two-story, five-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1931, currently owned by John Imperatore. The property has experienced recurring pest management challenges, with documented rat activity from 2019 through 2024, showing patterns of infestation despite some inspections passing and others noting rat activity or requiring bait application.
The building has maintained an active bedbug reporting history from 2021 through 2024, though all reports consistently indicate zero infested units or eradicated units during their respective filing periods. The building has undergone several maintenance inspections and repairs, particularly in 2022 and 2024, addressing various housing maintenance code violations. Recent inspections in 2024 identified issues with the building entrance door latch assembly and self-closing door mechanisms at the public hall on the first story, though these violations were certified as corrected by May 2024.
Other documented violations include the need for proper signage regarding housing information and gas leak procedures in 2022. A cluster of housing maintenance code complaints was filed in March 2022 involving doors/windows and electrical wiring, including some categorized as emergency situations, all of which were subsequently closed. The most recent rodent inspection in November 2024 passed, suggesting some level of improvement in pest management protocols.
