261 Hicks Street, Brooklyn, NY 11201

261 Hicks Street is a historic four-story brownstone building located in Brooklyn Heights, built in 1879 and currently owned by Henry Miner. The three-unit property has maintained good hygiene standards in recent years, with no reported issues of bedbugs or rodent infestations in the past several filing periods or inspections. The building's bedbug reporting history shows consistent compliance with Housing Maintenance Code requirements from 2021 through 2025, with all reports indicating zero infested units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infested units.

The property experienced two bedbug-related violations in 2022 and 2023 regarding late annual report filings, though these were subsequently addressed. Additionally, the building has passed all rodent inspections conducted in 2013, 2015, and most recently in February 2023, demonstrating effective pest management and overall building maintenance. The building's records indicate generally good building practices, with prompt resolution of any violations.

The most concerning events were the two bedbug violation notices in 2022 and 2023, though these appear to have been administrative in nature rather than indicating an actual infestation problem. Since then, the property has maintained perfect compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, filing regular reports with HPD that show no pest issues. The building's consistent passing of rodent inspections further supports the conclusion that the property is being properly maintained and managed, with no significant safety or maintenance concerns evident in the available records.
