298 St Johns Place, Brooklyn, NY 11238
298 St Johns Place in Prospect Heights is a 4-story, 15-unit residential building constructed in 1920 and currently owned by David Friedman. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues in recent years, with multiple emergency complaints registered between late 2024 and early 2024, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building.
Most recently, in December 2024, there were duplicate complaints regarding heat/hot water issues affecting the entire building, with similar complaints occurring regularly throughout 2023-2024. Prior to these recent issues, the building faced pest control challenges in 2023, with two separate complaints regarding unsanitary conditions and pests, though no violations were issued following inspections. The building has a history of maintenance concerns documented through Housing Maintenance Code Violations, particularly in early 2019, when multiple issues were identified and subsequently addressed, including problems with fire doors, pest infestation (roaches) in apartment 1B, and issues with radiator covers and hot water temperature.
The property has undergone regular rodent inspections, with the most recent being conducted in June 2025, which identified rat activity, though previous inspections in 2023 and 2024 had passed. Remarkably, the building's bedbug reporting records from 2019 through 2024 show no infestations, with only one documented case in 2018 that was reportedly eradicated. While the building has experienced periodic maintenance challenges, most violations and complaints have been addressed according to the records, though recent heating system reliability remains a notable concern.
