230 Court Street, Brooklyn, NY 11201

230 Court Street is a 3-story, 2-family residential building located in Cobble Hill, Brooklyn, constructed in 1854 and currently owned by Stuart Venner. The property has experienced several significant safety and maintenance issues, particularly in recent years. Most notably, there are ongoing active violations from 2022 related to serious facade problems, including loose and bulging bricks, spalling, mortar deterioration, diagonal cracking, and concerns about potential collapse posing risks to pedestrians.

These violations involve the building's southeastern facade and require immediate repairs, though as of the most recent inspection there were no job filings in the Buildings Information System (BIS) or Department of Buildings (DOB) records to address these issues. Additionally, the building has accumulated multiple violations for failing to file required external low-pressure inspection reports between 2018 and 2022, though these violations were eventually dismissed in October 2023. Historical records show three notable complaints: a 2022 construction enforcement issue, a 2022 failure to maintain complaint, and a 2019 plumbing complaint, though the latter was found to have no violations at the time of inspection.

The building's maintenance history is concerning, with multiple violations related to compliance with required inspections and repairs. There was also a failure to maintain violation in 2019 specifically regarding plumbing issues. Despite these significant maintenance and safety concerns, it's worth noting that there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the building since at least 2020, with all annual reports indicating zero infested or eradicated units. The most recent bedbug reports from 2023-2025 show continued compliance with no infestations being reported during the typical filing periods.
