373 Henry Street, Brooklyn, NY 11201

373 Henry Street is a historic three-story, four-unit residential building located in Cobble Hill, Brooklyn, constructed in 1874 and currently owned by Brian Elgart. The building has a documented history of lighting violations at the front entranceway, with three separate incidents in 1989, 1999, and 2001, all relating to inadequate lighting requirements, which were finally certified as corrected in November 2018.

The building's maintenance record from 1989 shows several significant safety concerns, including exposed electrical wires in the public hall, a nuisance involving wood columns and beams in the boiler room, and improper conditions in the cellar regarding refuse accumulation and defective cement mortar ceiling. At that time, there were also violations related to fire safety equipment, including the need to maintain sprinkler test records and provide extra sprinkler heads and wrenches for emergency use, though these were subsequently corrected. More recent records indicate generally improved conditions, with a clean bill regarding bedbugs over the past five reporting periods from 2020 to 2024, and a passed rodent inspection in March 2023.

The building has had three permits issued in recent years for various work, with the most recent in 2020 for exterior work. A Department of Buildings violation from 2019 was dismissed. The most recent bedbug reporting period (2024) shows no units requiring treatment, continuing a three-year streak of bedbug-free status since 2021.
