43 Hicks Street, Brooklyn, NY 11201

43 Hicks Street is a 4-story, 6-unit residential building located in Brooklyn Heights, owned by Mindy Guzzone and dating back to 1876. The building has experienced several notable events over the past few years, with the most significant being an April 2022 inspection that revealed structural concerns, including cracks forming in stucco and flaking issues exposing underlying brick, particularly affecting the rear of the building on the third floor.

These exterior maintenance problems led to an Environmental Control Board violation, though the penalty balance was recorded as $0.0 and the violation was subsequently resolved. The building has undergone regular compliance inspections, with mixed results: a 2021 inspection found no violations, while a 2018 inspection encountered access issues for the inspector. The property has maintained an excellent record regarding pest control, with no bedbug infestations reported in any of the annual reporting periods from 2019 through 2024.

Similarly, two rodent inspections conducted in 2013 and 2015 both passed successfully. The building's recent history demonstrates regular oversight and inspections, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic when specific compliance checks were conducted in May 2020. While the exterior maintenance issues noted in 2022 are the most significant concern on record, it's worth noting that this inspection was followed by a closed complaint status with an oath violation served.
