219 St Johns Place, Brooklyn, NY 11217

The four-story, three-unit building at 219 St Johns Place in Park Slope, owned by Elizabeth Vicens, has several significant maintenance and safety issues documented over the past seven years, with the most pressing concerns emerging in recent years. Currently, there are three open violations related to bedbug reporting requirements for 2022-2024, with the most recent violation from April 2024 still pending resolution.

The building has a documented history of water supply issues in Apartment 3 from June 2018, including inadequate hot and cold water supply to bathtub and shower fixtures. Other violations from 2018 include problems with self-closing doors at the building's front entrance and vestibule. The property has experienced pest control challenges, with a rat sighting reported in May 2021 that led to Department of Health inspections, and subsequent rodent activity confirmed in June 2021.

While there were no reported bedbug infestations in the 2019-2020 reporting period, the ongoing unaddressed bedbug reporting violations suggest this issue requires monitoring. Despite the building having three units, violations are primarily concentrated in Apartment 3, though some safety issues (such as the self-closing door problems) affect common areas. The presence of multiple open Housing Maintenance Code violations, particularly regarding bedbug reporting compliance, indicates potential challenges with building management and maintenance oversight.
