131 Hicks Street, Brooklyn, NY 11201

131 Hicks Street is a 4-story, 5-unit residential building located in Brooklyn Heights, constructed in 1848 and currently owned by John Prizeman. The building has undergone several inspections and maintenance requirements over the past years, with the most significant recent focus being on bedbug reporting compliance.

Between 2021 and 2024, the building received four separate violations for failing to file the annual bedbug report as required under the Housing Maintenance Code, though the most recent report from May 2024 indicates no infested units and no eradicated or re-infested units. Between 2018 and 2020, the building had several safety and maintenance requirements addressed, including the installation of missing electrical outlet protective caps, posting of carbon monoxide detector requirements, floor signage requirements, and various safety notices regarding smoke detectors, gas leak procedures, and housing information guides - most of these violations were subsequently closed in July 2018.

The building has maintained a consistent record of passing rodent inspections, with successful completions recorded in 2013, 2015, 2016, 2018, 2024, and most recently in March 2025. This demonstrates ongoing maintenance of basic sanitation standards. The property's recent record shows general compliance with public safety requirements, though the repeated bedbug reporting violations between 2021 and 2024 suggest occasional administrative oversights in maintaining up-to-date documentation, despite the actual pest situation being controlled as indicated by the bedbug report filings showing no infested units.
