349 St Johns Place, Brooklyn, NY 11238
The five-story, 16-unit New Law Tenement building at 349 St Johns Place in Prospect Heights, owned by Michael Rothstein, has experienced recurring maintenance and infrastructure issues since 2021. Most notably, there have been multiple heating and hot water problems affecting the entire building, with emergency complaints recorded in 2024, 2022, and 2021. The building has also faced significant plumbing concerns, including water leaks and sink issues reported in 2023, though inspection access was not granted in some cases.
Safety concerns emerged in 2023 regarding the fire escape system, and there were documented issues with windows and doors that required attention. Electrical problems, including a power outage in mid-2023, were notably resolved through occupant verification. The property has demonstrated persistent rodent activity, with inspections showing rat sightings in 2025, 2024, and 2023, despite some inspections passing requirements.
While recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 show improved conditions, with the most recent inspection in June 2025 passing, there have been multiple instances of rat activity requiring bait application. Building security and maintenance requirements have also been addressed through various violations, including self-closing door issues, broken locks, and inadequate floor signage in common areas. The building has maintained a clean record for bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in the past six filing periods from 2019 to 2024.
