52 St Johns Place, Brooklyn, NY 11217

52 St Johns Place is a 3-story, 4-unit residential building located in Park Slope, Brooklyn, built in 1920 and currently owned by Ibon Muhammad. The building has experienced several significant events in recent years, particularly in early 2020, when there were multiple heat and hot water complaints affecting the entire building in January, resulting in both violations and non-violation inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). These heating issues were documented as emergency complaints.

Additionally, in March 2020, violations were noted regarding safety concerns, including a self-closing door requirement and an illegal double cylinder locking device at the rear yard door serving Basement Apartment 1. The building has maintained an active bedbug reporting history from 2020 through 2025, with all reports showing zero infested units, indicating successful management of this potentially significant pest issue. More recent history shows the building's compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with the most recent filing in June 2025 showing no infestation issues.

However, there is a notable complaint from March 2025 regarding work without a permit in an occupied multiple dwelling, which was served as an Oath Violation. The building's infrastructure has been subject to various inspections, including an April 2024 bedbug report and multiple inspections in 2020 that addressed various safety and maintenance issues. A rodent inspection conducted in April 2018 resulted in a passing grade. While the building has experienced periodic maintenance issues typical of older structures, the management appears to have maintained compliance with most regulatory requirements, particularly in recent years, with particular attention to heating system maintenance and pest control.
