Construction of the Bronx Housing Courthouse began under permit NB 200070680-1990, with the city's Department of General Services as the original owner; the Landmarks Preservation Commission dates the work to 1990-99. In 1993 the property's ownership passed to New York State's Dormitory Authority.

1997
Rafael Viñoly's Bronx Housing Court angles a glass clock toward the southwest
Pushed upward by its narrow lot, Viñoly's 1997 courthouse cuts its southern wing down to the height of the six-story apartment house next door. Four volumes clad in long light-grey Roman brick and glass block hold stacked public lobbies, lit by a four-story window, where tenants and landlords often reach settlements; the thirteen courtrooms fill the masonry south wing. Atop the north wing, the judges' library carries a glass wedge with a clock face angled 30 degrees toward the southwest.
