Augrented Insights Report for 579 St Johns Place

579 St Johns Place is a 4-story, 8-unit residential building located in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, owned by Hazel Martin and built in 1909. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years, particularly during 2021-2024.

There are multiple records of problems in 2021, including flooring/stairs issues (with violations issued), plumbing (toilet), cooking gas supply problems, and heating/hot water complaints that required emergency response. These incidents led to several Housing Maintenance Code violations, particularly affecting apartment 3R, which experienced multiple issues including bathroom floor problems, door issues, kitchen gas supply problems, and various maintenance defects that were documented in July 2021. The building has an active history of boiler-related violations, with several documented issues between 2018-2024 indicating problems with improper installation, maintenance, and registration of boiler systems, particularly affecting apartments 1R and 3R.

Most notably, there are multiple active violations as of 2023-2024 regarding the failure to file external low pressure inspections for several years between 2018-2023, and the property is currently under an active Local Law 188 compliance inspection as of May 2024. The building has maintained a clean bedbug record since 2020, with no reported infestations in recent annual reports. Recent rodent inspections show mixed results, with the most recent July 2025 inspection failing for "Other Reasons," while procedures for addressing building violations and maintenance issues appear to have improved, with many previous violations having been resolved or closed.
