Augrented Insights Report for 198 Court Street

The four-story, 14-unit tenement building at 198 Court Street in Cobble Hill, owned by Salah Mohamed and built in 1898, has experienced significant maintenance challenges in recent years. Most notably, in May 2024, multiple violations were documented in Apartment 12, including the presence of mold in the bathroom, lead-based paint hazards, and issues requiring painting repairs across various surfaces.

The building has also faced ongoing rodent control challenges, with inspections in early 2024 showing rat activity, though the most recent inspection in March 2024 passed. The property has a concerning history of maintenance issues, with a particularly problematic period in 2020-2021 when emergency violations were recorded regarding exterior building walls, including a notable incident involving dislodged brownstone above the fourth floor windows, resulting in significant Environmental Control Board penalties.

A series of complaints and violations emerged in 2024, including unsanitary conditions related to garbage storage and mold, as well as various maintenance issues involving doors, windows, plumbing fixtures, and walls/ceilings. The building's history also shows persistent rodent issues, with multiple bait applications and rat activity documented across inspections from 2013 through 2024. Recently, records indicate no bedbug infestations or re-infestations reported since 2019, suggesting successful pest management in this regard.
