384 Court Street, Brooklyn, NY 11231

384 Court Street is a three-story, six-unit mixed-use building in Carroll Gardens, owned by Gregory Katz and constructed in 1920. The building's recent history has been notably marked by multiple Department of Buildings (DOB) violations and sidewalk safety concerns. In late 2024, there were two violations issued regarding an improperly installed sidewalk shed/scaffold, resulting in penalties of $1,280 and $2,400 respectively, though both violations have since been resolved.

A more serious structural concern was documented in April 2024 regarding building shaking/vibration affecting structural stability, which resulted in an Oath violation. The building has also received a building code violation for multiple cracks on the Court Street exposure, which remains active as of the report date. The property has experienced recurring food safety concerns, with several Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) complaints between 2020 and 2025, including food poisoning incidents and establishment grading issues.

Most recently, in January 2025, there was a food poisoning complaint involving three or more cases. The building's compliance with health regulations has been regularly monitored, with the DOHMH determining most incidents to be isolated or requiring normal inspection protocols. Fortunately, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs, with zero infestations reported in the past seven years (2019-2025), and passed a rodent inspection in January 2013. The most recent 311 service requests and building complaints suggest ongoing attention to both health and safety compliance, particularly regarding building maintenance and food service operations.
