317 Hicks Street, Brooklyn, NY 11201

317 Hicks Street is a 4-story, 10-unit residential building located in Brooklyn Heights, with a rich history dating back to 1849. The property, currently owned by Jordana Levine, has experienced several significant events in recent years, with the most concerning being an incident in June 2020 when cement stucco pieces approximately 3" x 3" in size fell from the building's parapet level onto the sidewalk, posing a clear safety hazard.

This led to two violations from the Department of Buildings and the Environmental Control Board, with penalties totaling $7,500, though records indicate these have since been resolved. The building's maintenance history shows attention to pest control, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past six years, as documented in the mandatory annual bedbug reports filed between 2019 and 2024.

More recent building issues appear to have stabilized, with the most recent violations being administrative in nature, including a 2021 notice regarding the late filing of the annual bedbug report, which has since been corrected. The property has undergone three Department of Buildings inspections since 2020 related to various complaints, including checks for building shaking and site conditions, though none were found to warrant violations. A rodent inspection in February 2013 resulted in a "Passed" status, suggesting effective pest management prior to the current bedbug monitoring period.
