Augrented Insights Report for 136 Hicks Street

The six-story, 46-unit building at 136 Hicks Street in Brooklyn Heights, built in 1922 and currently owned by Robert Cohen, has experienced several notable maintenance issues in recent years. Most concerning is an ongoing construction lead dust complaint (filed November 2024) that reportedly affects individual apartments. The building has faced recurring plumbing and water supply problems, with multiple complaints filed between 2024-2021, including incidents in 2024 (closed with no violations found), a slow water leak in January 2024 (closed), and several heat/hot water complaints in early 2024 that were either not inspected due to access issues or promptly resolved.

The building's history reveals persistent infrastructure challenges, particularly related to heating systems, with multiple heat/hot water complaints recorded in 2021, and several plumbing issues including a toilet problem in 2021 that could not be inspected due to access issues. Two small bedbug infestations were reported in 2018-2019, but subsequent annual reports (2020-2024) have shown zero infested units. The building has also faced various code violations requiring attention, including three fire door violations and other safety issues noted during a June 2023 inspection, which were subsequently closed. There were construction-related issues in 2020 involving scaffolding, resulting in penalties totaling $3,125, though these were resolved.

Recent inspections and complaints indicate some ongoing maintenance challenges, though the building has generally remained compliant with major regulatory requirements. The property has maintained a regular schedule of bedbug and rodent inspections, with the most recent rodent inspection in 2021 passing compliance. Multiple attempts to inspect for work without permits were recorded in late 2024, with inspectors unable to gain access, though these complaints were eventually closed. The building has shown periodic issues with interior maintenance and fire safety features, as evidenced by various violations and complaints throughout its recent history.
