154 Court Street, Brooklyn, NY 11201

154 Court Street is a 2-family, 3-story residential building located in Cobble Hill, Brooklyn, built in 1854 and currently owned by David Berk. The property has undergone several significant events over the past few years, with the most substantial work occurring in 2019-2020, when multiple permits were issued for construction work including electrical and other improvements.

During this period, there were several safety-related incidents, including a July 2020 complaint about debris falling from the building (though no violations were found), and an August 2020 construction safety compliance violation that resulted in a $2,500 fine for failure to provide a competent person/superintendent on the active job site. A subsequent November 2020 violation was issued regarding the failure to certify correction of an immediately hazardous violation, though this was ultimately dismissed in March 2021. Recent concerns include ongoing rodent control efforts, with multiple bait applications recorded between February 2022 and January 2023, though a March 2022 compliance inspection resulted in a passing grade.

The building has maintained a clean record in terms of pest control, with no bedbug infestations reported in the 2022-2023 and 2023-2024 reporting periods. The most recent incident on record was an August 2023 DOHMH complaint involving a food establishment, which was administratively closed as having been addressed. The building's complaint history shows generally positive resolution patterns, with most issues being properly addressed through either inspection or violation resolution processes, and no open complaints currently on record as of July 2025.
