508 Court Street, Brooklyn, NY 11231

508 Court Street is a four-story, four-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Carroll Gardens and owned by Meng Li, constructed in 1931. The property has experienced several maintenance and health-related issues over recent years, with particular attention required to its food establishment operations. Between 2018 and 2023, there were multiple Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) complaints regarding food safety, including incidents of food poisoning, contamination, and worker hygiene – though these were generally resolved through inspections or administrative closures.

The building has faced recurring challenges with garbage and recycling storage conditions, documented through multiple Housing Maintenance Code complaints and violations between 2018-2020, though inspections typically found no violations issued. Notably, the property has maintained an annual bedbug reporting compliance record between 2022-2024 showing zero infested units, and passed recent rodent inspections in 2022 and 2023 after previously requiring bait application treatment in 2019. There are no active violations from the most recent inspections regarding bedbugs or rodent conditions.

More recent concerns have centered around building systems and safety requirements, including two open violations from 2018 regarding air conditioner brackets on the second and third stories, and a violation from 2023 related to garbage receptacles. The building's maintenance history includes a mix of both responsive actions and some areas requiring ongoing attention, such as a boiler-related complaint in 2024 where access was denied during inspection. While the property has experienced various operational challenges, the consistent addressing of complaints and regular inspections indicate active management oversight, with most historical issues being resolved through appropriate channels.
