93 Hicks Street, Brooklyn, NY 11201

93 Hicks Street is a 4-story, 16-unit converted Class A building located in Brooklyn Heights, built in 1920 and currently owned by Ramiel Benyehuda. The building has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water throughout 2024 and into 2025, with multiple complaints registered with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) for both apartment-specific and building-wide outages.

Several of these complaints were marked as emergencies, and multiple HPD violations have been issued related to heat and hot water systems, particularly affecting apartments 1F and 4FN. The building has also faced several fire safety concerns, including defective fire retardant materials in the first-story public hall and issues with self-closing doors in the cellar area, though many of these violations have been closed following certification. Recent inspections and violations between 2022 and 2025 indicate ongoing maintenance challenges, with active ECB violations regarding gutter and drainage issues as of October 2024, and past violations related to tenant protection plan compliance during construction work.

The building has undergone various construction activities, as evidenced by multiple permit applications, though there have been some concerns about the nature of this work, including a 2024 complaint about unlicensed/illegal work. Rodent inspections conducted in 2023 and 2024 have shown evidence of rat activity, marking these as areas of concern for resident comfort. However, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with zero cases reported in the past four filing periods from 2022 to 2025.
