383 St Johns Place, Brooklyn, NY 11238
The four-story, 16-unit New Law Tenement building at 383 St. John's Place in Prospect Heights, owned by Hal Friedman and constructed in 1912, has experienced persistent maintenance challenges in recent years. Most notably, there has been an ongoing rodent control issue, with multiple inspections from 2023 to 2025 revealing consistent rat activity, though some inspections noted compliance or passing results.
The building has also faced recurring heating and hot water system problems, particularly evident in 2024 when an entire-building complaint was filed in July, and similar issues were documented in multiple emergency violations in February 2021, including a significant carbon monoxide detector violation. More recent concerns include a water supply issue in August 2024 that was investigated but resulted in no violations. Historical records show past violations related to building safety, including two Environmental Control Board violations in 2020 regarding obstructed fire escape drop-down ladders at the first floor, though these were ultimately resolved.
The building's maintenance history indicates regular bedbug reporting between 2019 and 2024, with no reported infestations or eradications during this period. Recent inspections in 2024 revealed safety violations related to electrical outlets on the third and fourth floors, though these were certified as corrected by November 2024. While the building has passed various health inspections, the combination of persistent rodent activity and recurring heating/hot water issues suggests ongoing maintenance challenges.
