259 Hicks Street, Brooklyn, NY 11201

259 Hicks Street is a 3-story, 5-unit residential building in Brooklyn Heights, constructed in 1879 and currently owned by Phil Cramer. The property has undergone several inspections and faced various regulatory requirements over recent years. Notably, there have been recurring Housing Maintenance Code violations in 2022, 2023, and 2024 related to the annual bedbug reporting requirements, though these violations were subsequently closed.

The most recent bedbug report filed in May 2025 indicates no current infestations, with a clean record of eradication over the past four years. In May 2024, a sidewalk shed-related issue was documented concerning missing information panel signs during facade repairs, resulting in a $1,250 penalty that has since been resolved. The building has maintained a generally positive record regarding pest control, passing rodent inspections conducted in 2013, 2015, and most recently in February 2023.

While there have been administrative violations related to bedbug reporting, the property has consistently demonstrated compliance with pest control requirements as evidenced by the absence of reported infestations in recent years. The building's maintenance history suggests regular attention to regulatory requirements, with violations being addressed through proper channels, though the recurring nature of the bedbug reporting violations is notable. The most recent inspections and filings indicate a current status of compliance with both bedbug reporting requirements and pest control standards.
