Augrented Insights Report for 439 Hicks Street

439 Hicks Street is a 6-story, 72-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Cobble Hill, constructed in 1877 and currently owned by Fidadelfo Hernandez. The property has experienced several notable maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing concerns emerging in 2024.

Currently, there is an ongoing investigation into construction lead dust entering apartments, and in September 2024, the building received violations related to flooring and stair conditions, specifically concerning a concrete floor in the 6th story public hall and a concrete tread on the 5th story stairs, though these violations were subsequently closed. The building has maintained regular compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with the most recent filings showing zero infested or re-infested units between 2022-2025. The property has a documented history of plumbing issues, particularly regarding water supply problems in 2020 and 2022, both of which were classified as immediate emergencies but ultimately resolved with no violations found upon inspection.

Recent environmental control board violations from August 2024 noted concerns about construction materials and temporary barricades outside the building, as well as facade issues with cracks and damaged bricks, though these were marked as resolved. While the building has experienced various maintenance challenges, including a 2023 violation for failing to file an annual bedbug report (which was later closed), it generally shows good compliance with housing maintenance code requirements. The most recent rodent inspection in November 2024 resulted in a passed inspection, continuing a pattern of successful rodent control measures, with previous inspections in 2014 and 2015 also showing no issues.
