483 Hicks Street, Brooklyn, NY 11231

The four-unit, four-story building at 483 Hicks Street in Cobble Hill, owned by Diego Argibay, has a mixed record over the past several years. Built in 1920 and classified as an Old Law Tenement, the property has maintained a good track record with respect to bedbug management, with all eight bedbug reports submitted between 2019-2025 showing zero infested units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infested units.

The building's most recent violation, issued in April 2021, required the filing of an annual bedbug report in accordance with HPD rules, though this appears to have been resolved given subsequent filings. In terms of rodent issues, there was one documented instance of rat activity in July 2015 during an initial inspection, though a follow-up compliance inspection in October 2015 showed passing results. The building's recent history includes an illegal after-hours work complaint in May 2024, which was investigated on May 18 and found to warrant no violations at the time of inspection.

This is the only recent complaint on record and occurred nearly a year after the most recent bedbug report filing in January 2025. The property has generally had few documented issues over the years, with no confirmed cases of bedbugs since 2020 and successful rodent remediation demonstrated in 2015. The repeated filing of bedbug reports showing no infestations or eradications suggests proactive management of this particular issue.
