229 St Johns Place, Brooklyn, NY 11217
229 St Johns Place is a 4-story, 19-unit New Law tenement building constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Peter Volandes. The building has experienced recurring water-related issues, with two documented slow water leaks in 2021 and 2025, and a heavier flow leak in 2021 that was classified as an emergency. Additional maintenance concerns emerged in 2021, including electrical lighting problems and pest control issues, though these complaints were closed without violations.
The building has more recent health and safety concerns, including a smoking violation in 2025 and an open violation as of April 2024 regarding failure to file the required annual bedbug report. Two bedbug reports filed for the 2021-2022 and 2017-2018 periods indicated no infestations. The property has several open violations from 2023, including issues with an unsecured metal handrail at the first-story stairs, missing street numbers, and the need for various repairs to self-closing doors and a marble baluster.
Earlier violations from 2021 included a documented mold issue in Apartment 3B's bathroom tiles and problems with self-closing doors at the same apartment. The building's maintenance history shows some attention to rodent control, with inspections in 2010, though these records are now quite dated. While the property has passed several recent inspections related to bedbugs and COVID-19 compliance, there are ongoing maintenance issues that remain to be fully addressed, as evidenced by multiple open violations and service requests.
