481 St Johns Place, Brooklyn, NY 11238
481 St Johns Place is a four-story, 24-unit old law tenement building in Crown Heights, built in 1900 and currently owned by Ravindra Kumar. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with six documented complaints between 2019 and 2023, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building.
These emergencies were generally resolved, though some inspections were unable to gain access. Recent concerns include unsanitary pigeon conditions (May 2025) and water supply issues (February 2025), both of which were investigated but found not to violate housing laws. The building has also faced various safety concerns, including a 2020 violation for missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in apartment 2B, and multiple violations in late 2019 related to fire safety, including obstructed fire escapes, door issues, and self-closing requirements.
Maintenance records show the building has required regular pest control attention, with recent rodent inspections (2024-2025) showing both passed results and bait applications. Importantly, the building has maintained an up-to-date bedbug reporting history from 2021-2024, consistently showing no infested units during the reporting periods, and the most recent bedbug report (April 2024) indicated zero infestations in the previous year. The property has undergone several rodent inspections in recent years, with the most recent (June 2025) showing a passed result.
