417 Hicks Street, Brooklyn, NY 11201

The six-story, 116-unit building at 417 Hicks Street in Cobble Hill, owned by Sally Gilliland, has experienced recurring heating and hot water issues since 2022. Most recently, in December 2023, there was another report of no heat or hot water affecting the entire building, marking the third such incident within the past 12 months.

During 2022 alone, there were five documented heating and hot water complaints, with some periods of denied access to inspect conditions. The building also experienced plumbing issues in February 2022, with multiple water supply complaints, though inspections did not result in violations.

An Environmental Control Board violation was issued in November 2023 regarding an obstructed fire escape ladder landing area, with a penalty of $625, while a 2020 violation related to unauthorized construction during emergency orders resulted in a $5,000 penalty. The building has maintained a clean record regarding pest management, with no bedbug or rodent issues reported since 2017, and has demonstrated compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, showing zero infested units in recent filings. While the building appears to meet most housing maintenance code requirements, the recurring heating system issues represent the most significant pattern of complaints documented over this period.
