30 Hicks Street, Brooklyn, NY 11201

30 Hicks Street is a 10-unit, 4-story New Law tenement building located in Brooklyn Heights, owned by Pino Realty Corp and constructed in 1906. The building has had several concerning maintenance issues in recent months, with multiple violations issued in September 2023 including problems with ceiling plaster/paint, a water leak, and notably, mold in the bathroom of apartment 10.

The building currently has several open violations from September 2023, including mold on ceramic tiles and grout joints in apartment 10's bathroom, leaky bathroom fixtures, broken plaster and paint surfaces, defective ceiling lighting fixtures, and a failure to file the required annual bedbug report. An April 2024 inspection noted another bedbug report violation, remaining open as of the current date.

The building's maintenance history shows some attention to basic safety requirements, with inspections from 2019 showing no violations regarding a boiler complaint, and regular rodent inspections between 2013-2019 consistently passing. However, the recent concentration of violations, particularly those affecting habitability and safety such as water leaks, mold, and the need for proper gas leak procedures, indicate significant ongoing maintenance challenges. While the building has maintained rodent-free status and generally passed basic safety inspections in the past, the recent cluster of violations suggests a deterioration in maintenance oversight, particularly regarding timely responses to resident complaints and general apartment upkeep.
