Brooklyn Housing Court

Brooklyn Housing Court is a division of New York City’s housing system where landlord-tenant issues are resolved. It handles cases such as rent disputes, eviction proceedings, lease violations, and eviction defenses. The court aims to ensure safe, habitable living conditions while balancing the rights of both landlords and tenants. Proceedings are typically faster than other courts, and legal procedures are designed to address specific housing concerns efficiently. It provides a structured environment for resolving disputes, often with the involvement of legal aid or assistance programs, to promote fair outcomes for all parties involved.
