Augrented Insights Report for 477 St Johns Place

The 16-unit, 4-story tenement building at 477 St Johns Place in Crown Heights, built in 1912 and currently owned by Lester Nervais, has experienced several recurring maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most notably, there have been multiple water supply problems, with the most recent emergency complaint filed in February 2025. The building underwent significant plumbing issues in 2022, with multiple immediate emergency water supply complaints and violations for hot water exceeding the maximum allowed temperature of 130 degrees F in multiple apartments (1A, 1B, 4A, and 4D).

Safety concerns have been documented, including a carbon monoxide detector violation and fire escape issue in January 2022, though recent inspections show the building passed rodent inspections as of June 2025, despite previous rat activity reports in 2023-2024. The building has a history of pest management challenges, including documented bedbug infestations in 2020-2021 (2 units), though recent filings (2023-2024) report no active infestations. Multiple maintenance complaints regarding unsanitary conditions, including mold and pest issues, were recorded between 2021-2022, though inspections generally resulted in no violations being issued.

The property has also seen various infrastructure concerns, including window guard violations, door issues, and problems with plaster and paint. More recent complaints in early 2025 regarding illegal activity and compliance inspections suggest ongoing oversight activities, though no violations were found upon inspection. The building's most recent housing maintenance code compliance checks have mostly resulted in "No Violation Warranted" outcomes, but a 2022 violation regarding bedbug reporting requirements was noted.
