181 Court Street, Brooklyn, NY 11201

181 Court Street is a 4-story,7-unit residential building constructed in 1900 in the Cobble Hill neighborhood, currently owned by David Lloyd. The property has experienced several concerning issues in 2025, with two active Department of Health and Mental Hygiene complaints regarding rodent and insect issues filed in June, following previous health department interventions in February and May of the same year related to pet and animal concerns.

The building has significant outstanding violations from a May 2022 inspection of Apartment 4L, including multiple issues with roof leaks affecting various rooms, defective plastered surfaces and paint, and problems with bike storage in public hallways. The building has a documented history of water and sanitation issues, with emergency complaints about sewage problems in February 2025, which inspectors were unable to access, and a heavy water leak complaint from 2022 that resulted in violations being issued. The property has maintained an active bedbug monitoring record from 2021 to 2025, showing zero infestations during the reported periods.

Recent complaints suggest ongoing maintenance and hygiene challenges, despite historical records showing periods of compliance, including a passed rodent inspection in 2011. Additionally, there were multiple complaints in September 2020 regarding falling debris and building protection during construction, though these were resolved without penalties. The building's record demonstrates persistent maintenance challenges, particularly regarding water-related issues and hygiene concerns, especially in recent months.
