490 Court Street, Brooklyn, NY 11231
490 Court Street is a 4-story, 3-unit residential building located in Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn, owned by Santo Gentile and constructed in 1931 under the Old Law Tenement classification. The building has undergone regular inspections and oversight, with a notable pattern of compliance regarding bedbug reporting requirements.
From 2021 to 2025, the property maintained a record of zero infested units, with all required annual bedbug reports filed properly and showing no infestation or eradication cases. Recent incidents include a 2025 complaint about unsanitary garbage/recycling storage conditions, which was investigated by HPD but found not to violate housing laws. The building has been subject to various inspections and complaints over the past several years, including inquiries in 2019 regarding potential illegal conversion of commercial space to residential units, a 2020 gas utility referral, and a 2021 certificate of occupancy-related complaint.
However, in each of these cases, inspections determined that no violations warranted action. Three Housing Maintenance Code violations were recorded between 2021-2023, all related to the filing of annual bedbug reports, though these appear to be administrative in nature rather than indicative of actual infestation issues. The most recent building inspection history suggests regular oversight and prompt response to tenant concerns, with most issues being resolved without finding any actionable violations.
