20 St Johns Place, Brooklyn, NY 11217
The 4-story, 5-unit Old Law Tenement building at 20 St Johns Place in Park Slope, owned by Alexander Paik and constructed in 1920, has experienced several notable issues over the past few years. Most concerning is the pattern of bedbug-related violations, with open Housing Maintenance Code violations recorded in 2022, 2023, and most recently in April 2024 for failure to file the required annual bedbug report - a recurring compliance issue that remains unresolved as of mid-2025.
The building has also faced rodent-related challenges, with initial rat activity documented in July 2021, though a follow-up compliance inspection in November 2021 passed. A health department investigation in June 2021 confirmed violations regarding rodent sightings, warranting follow-up inspections, though these may have been addressed given the later inspection results.
While there was a plumbing complaint in March 2021 suggesting possible illegal work regarding sprinkler/standpipe systems, this was investigated and no violations were warranted at the time of inspection. The cumulative effect of these issues, particularly the ongoing bedbug report violation, suggests historical challenges with building maintenance compliance, though the most recent rodent inspection results indicate some improvements in pest control.
