I have been to that courthouse for jury duty, it is a disaster with all the security and people in front of the building trying to get in. Takes forever.
You're talking about the criminal court on 161st, right?
The housing court is on the Concourse, just north of 166th.
Anyway, getting into the courthouse on 161st is crazy. Even if you're just a spectator or a family member, those guards treat you like you're a criminal .
