260 Hicks Street, Brooklyn, NY 11201
260 Hicks Street is a four-story, eight-unit residential building in Brooklyn Heights, constructed in 1845 and currently owned by Juan Rivera. The property has experienced recurring rodent-related issues, with the most recent inspections in 2025 showing rat activity in January and October, though a compliance inspection in March 2025 resulted in a passing grade.
The building has open violations related to failing to file annual bedbug reports from 2021 through 2024, suggesting ongoing pest management oversight issues. Additionally, there are three active Department of Buildings violations from June 2023 regarding the failure to file external low-pressure inspections for 2018, 2019, and 2020. The building has a documented history of heating and sanitation concerns, particularly notable in 2019 when residents experienced heat and hot water issues throughout the building, though these were subsequently corrected.
Earlier health-related complaints include an incident in 2018 involving chemical vapors/odors, and a 2020 pest-related complaint that could not be inspected due to access issues. While the property has passed several recent rodent inspections, the pattern of rat sightings and the presence of unpaid violations indicates ongoing maintenance challenges. The building's age and history suggest the need for regular monitoring of both pest management and compliance with health and safety regulations, particularly regarding documentation requirements for bedbug reporting and pressure system inspections.
