411 St Johns Place, Brooklyn, NY 11238
At 411 St. John's Place in Prospect Heights, a four-story, 16-unit New Law tenement built in 1912 and currently owned by Chaim Halberstam, recent months have shown persistent maintenance and safety challenges. Since January 2025, there have been multiple complaints about heating and hot water issues affecting the entire building, with tenants frequently unable to provide access for inspections. The most recent service requests from May 2025 indicate problems with windows, window frames, and walls, but inspectors were again unable to complete their evaluations.
Building inspections from mid-2024 revealed significant issues in Apartment 12, including window problems, pest infestations, lead paint concerns, and multiple violations requiring immediate attention to life safety systems such as smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors in Apartment 6. The building has experienced recurring rodent activity, with inspections in 2023 and 2024 consistently showing evidence of rats, though some recent inspections have shown compliance with baiting requirements. Historical records show a pattern of heating system problems, with multiple tenant complaints in early 2025 being labeled as emergencies. In early 2024, various violations were documented, including a locked boiler room and heating system access issues.
The building has also faced several environmental control board violations related to maintenance and compliance matters between 2018-2022, including issues with the roof access door and water damage in public areas. While the property has maintained an active bedbug control program with no reported infestations in recent years, the recurring rodent inspections suggest ongoing pest management challenges. Four recent rodent inspections in 2025 have shown rat activity, indicating this remains an unresolved issue. The building's recent maintenance history shows a pattern of insufficient access for inspections and persistent heating system problems, with multiple failed access attempts by inspectors in 2025 being particularly noteworthy.
