220 Court Street, Brooklyn, NY 11201
220 Court Street is a three-story, two-family house located in Cobble Hill and built in 1854, currently owned by Stuart Venner. The building has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years.
Most notably, there are active violations related to facade maintenance, with building commissioners issuing orders in July 2022 due to concerning vertical, horizontal, and diagonal cracking on the southeast facade, which raised potential collapse concerns affecting pedestrian safety. The owner was ordered to file repair drawings and obtain necessary permits, but as of August 2022, there were reports of no jobs being filed in response to these orders. A construction-related complaint from 2025 is currently under investigation, and there is an active ECB violation from July 2024 regarding an expired construction sidewalk shed permit with a $6,250 penalty attached.
The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of delayed responses to safety concerns, with a closed complaint in 2024 regarding damaged safety net/guard rails. While the property has not reported any bedbug infestations in the past four reporting periods (2022-2025), and it passed a rodent inspection in March 2023, the ongoing facade issues and the pattern of violations related to construction work and facade maintenance suggest historical challenges with building upkeep. The sidewalk shed situation from 2024 remains unresolved as of the latest available data, with an active penalty still due.
