Sunset Park Courthouse, Municipal courthouse in Sunset Park, Brooklyn, United States
The three-story limestone structure at 4201 4th Avenue features identical facades with Ionic columns on both 42nd and 43rd Streets entrances.
Constructed between 1930 and 1931 under the supervision of Deputy State Architect Mortimer Dickerson Metcalfe, this building served as a municipal courthouse until 1962.
The neoclassical architecture of the building represents the civic design principles of early 20th-century American public institutions in New York City.
Located near multiple subway stations including 45th Street, 36th Street, and 53rd Street stations, the building now houses Community Board 7 and various agencies.
The building became the New York Police Department's primary processing center for applicants following its complete renovation by Helpern Architects in 1996.
