477 Hicks Street, Brooklyn, NY 11231
The 8-unit, 4-story Old Law Tenement building at 477 Hicks Street in Cobble Hill, owned by Nelson Herrera, has experienced several concerning issues over recent years, with the most recent incident occurring in January 2024 when there was an emergency heat and hot water problem in one of the apartments.
This complaint was investigated and resolved by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development within 48 hours. More significantly, the building has persistent open violations related to bedbug reporting requirements under the Housing Maintenance Code.
These violations have remained unaddressed over multiple years, with inspections in 2021, 2022, 2023, and most recently in April 2024, all showing failure to file the required annual bedbug report as mandated by HPD regulations. While the heat and hot water issue appears to have been promptly addressed, the recurring nature of the bedbug reporting violations suggests ongoing non-compliance with housing maintenance requirements.
