539 Court Street, Brooklyn, NY 11231

539 Court Street is a three-story, two-unit residential building located in Carroll Gardens, owned by Mario Prestigiacomo and constructed in 1901 as an Old Law Tenement. The building has recently experienced several maintenance issues, most notably a water leak that was reported in September 2023 and remained unresolved until June 2024, which resulted in multiple violations.

A comprehensive June 2024 inspection by housing authorities revealed several notable concerns, including visible mold in the second-story public hall ceiling, which was subsequently classified as a Class B violation. The building is also documented to have multiple repair requirements, particularly in Apartment 2, where violations were issued for defective plastered surfaces and painting issues in various rooms and hallways. While some violations have been closed, including those related to public safety notice requirements and minor maintenance issues, there are still outstanding concerns regarding ceiling repairs and carbon monoxide detector functionality in Apartment 2.

The property has a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with all reporting periods between 2021 and 2025 showing zero infested units, eradicated units, or re-infested units, indicating effective pest management practices. The building's historical and recent violation history suggests an ongoing need for maintenance and repairs, particularly in the common areas and Apartment 2, though the property has demonstrated compliance with numerous housing codes by addressing and certifying several violations as completed. The current outstanding violations primarily relate to maintenance and safety systems.
