447 Hicks Street, Brooklyn, NY 11201

447 Hicks Street is a 4-story, 8-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Cobble Hill, Brooklyn, owned by Lori Falco Greenberg and constructed in 1900. The building has experienced recurring plumbing issues, particularly in July 2022, with multiple sink-related service requests filed with HPD, of which one resulted in violations.

More concerning was a cluster of heat and hot water complaints in December 2018, affecting the entire building, though records indicate that services were restored before closure of the complaints. In 2022, there were notable maintenance issues in apartment 4B, including pest infestation (roaches) and plumbing problems with bathroom faucets, both of which were subsequently addressed. Recent inspection records from 2023 show several safety-related violations that have been addressed, including problems with self-closing doors and roof access controls.

Specifically, inspections from February to November 2023 identified issues with door stoppers and self-closing mechanisms at the 1st-story entrance and vestibule doors, as well as security concerns regarding roof access. The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with the most recent reports from 2023-2024 showing zero cases of infestation, eradication, or re-infestation. The property has generally demonstrated responsiveness to identified violations, with most issues being certified as resolved by their respective deadlines, though some complaints required multiple inspections before finding resolution.
