240 Court Street, a four-story, 12-unit residential building in Cobble Hill built in 1886, has experienced several notable maintenance and compliance issues over recent years. Most recently, in July 2025, there was a complaint about work being performed without a permit. The building has faced recurring heating system challenges, with multiple heat and hot water complaints filed in late 2020 through early 2021, though these issues were generally resolved promptly.

The building has also dealt with bedbug infestations, with the most recent report from March 2025 indicating one infested unit that was subsequently eradicated, representing the first occurrence since 2019. The property has a history of various maintenance and safety concerns, particularly in 2021-2022, including issues with carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, electrical wiring, and various apartment-specific repairs. Violations were issued and subsequently addressed, including safety concerns related to exposed electrical wires in the public hall and household items blocking access in common areas.

In 2019, multiple complaints were filed regarding unsanitary conditions, including mold and pest issues, particularly affecting apartment 8. The building's maintenance history also shows regular bedbug reporting compliance, with most periods showing no infestations, though exceptions were noted in 2019 and 2025. A complaint regarding failure to maintain the property was filed in March 2024 but resulted in no violations being found upon inspection in November 2024.
