617 St Johns Place, Brooklyn, NY 11238
The three-story, six-unit residential building at 617 St Johns Place in Crown Heights, owned by Alan Zelkowitz, has faced persistent pest management challenges in recent years. Most notably, there has been an ongoing rodent issue, with multiple inspections from 2023 through 2025 revealing varying degrees of rat activity.
The most recent inspection in July 2025 resulted in a failure for "Other Reasons," while the previous inspection in May 2024 passed, and August 2023 showed confirmed rat activity. The building has also experienced recurring issues with bedbug reporting compliance, having received Housing Maintenance Code violations in 2021, 2022, and 2024 for failing to file the required annual bedbug reports.
However, the most recent bedbug report filing in March 2025 indicates no infestations were present during the 2023-2024 reporting period, marking a positive development in pest management. The building's pest control history shows a mix of compliance and non-compliance with health and safety regulations, with the past two years showing some improvement in bedbug management despite the continuing rodent challenges.
