509 Hicks Street, Brooklyn, NY 11231

The three-story, four-unit Old Law Tenement building at 509 Hicks Street in Cobble Hill, owned by Adele Carbone, has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, with the most significant cluster of problems occurring in early 2022. Multiple violations were documented between January and September 2022, including electrical problems with outlets and switches, door issues, flooring concerns, and several reports of pest infestations.

All these complaints were ultimately closed, with inspections conducted by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), though specific details about the violations can be found on the HPD website. Notably, there has been no reporting of bedbug infestations in the past two years, according to the bedbug reporting system, with the most recent filings in May 2025 and December 2023 showing zero occupied units affected between November 2022 and October 2024, and between November 2023 and October 2024, respectively.

This suggests an improvement in pest control measures, as there were multiple pest-related complaints in early 2022. The building has maintained a stable occupancy and structure since its construction in 1900, though the 2022 maintenance issues indicate there were periods requiring attention to basic systems and sanitation. The most recent known issues date back to 2022, and there are currently no open complaints or documented violations on file.
