25 St Johns Place, Brooklyn, NY 11217

25 St Johns Place is a 4-story, 4-unit old law tenement building located in Park Slope, Brooklyn, and owned by Lloyd Parnell. The property, constructed in 1920, has experienced recurring issues over the past several years, with the most recent significant concern being a heavy water leak reported in December 2023 that, despite being marked as an emergency, could not be inspected by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) and was subsequently closed in April 2024.

The building has also faced challenges with plumbing systems, including a sewage odor complaint in October 2020 that resulted in an advisory to the owner. Of particular note are four open violations related to the building's failure to submit required annual bedbug reports, spanning from 2021 to 2024, indicating a potential pattern of non-compliance with Housing Maintenance Code requirements.

These violations have not been certified as corrected as of the current date. On a positive note, the building successfully passed rodent inspections in 2017 and 2018, suggesting effective pest control during that period. The combination of an unresolved water leak, ongoing bedbug reporting violations, and past sewage issues suggests that while some maintenance matters have been addressed, there are several areas within the building's management that require attention.
