248 Court Street, Brooklyn, NY 11201
The four-story, six-unit building at 248 Court Street in Cobble Hill, owned by Janet Hayes and built in 1886, has experienced several significant maintenance and health-related issues over recent years. Most notably, there was a concerning pattern of rodent activity in 2022, with multiple complaints filed through the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) between December 2021 and June 2022, and subsequent inspections indicating rat activity in December 2022.
The building also faced structural concerns in 2021, with Environmental Control Board violations documented regarding brick arch deterioration on the fourth floor, specifically noting visible cracks and fallen bricks, though these violations have since been resolved. The property has maintained a regular bedbug reporting schedule, with no reported infestations in recent filings from 2023 to 2025, indicating compliance with Housing Maintenance Code requirements.
More recent issues include a food poisoning complaint in June 2025, though the DOHMH deemed it an isolated incident, and a historical complaint in 2021 regarding sidewalk shed installation requirements, which was dismissed when proper documentation was provided. The building continues to operate under its original classification as an Old Law Tenement, and all major violations related to structural integrity and pest control appear to have been addressed as of the most recent available data.
