Augrented Insights Report for 577 St Johns Place

The four-story, eight-unit apartment building at 577 St. John's Place in Crown Heights, owned by Martin Donovan and constructed in 1909, has experienced several ongoing maintenance and safety challenges in recent years.

Most notably, there have been persistent rodent problems, with multiple complaints filed in 2025 showing rat activity including recent inspections in April and June 2025. The building has also faced recurring sanitation issues, as evidenced by multiple 311 complaints regarding unsanitary conditions, including recent complaints about garbage/recycling storage in 2025. Health-related violations have surfaced, including mold and pest issues in late 2024, and the building's heating system has faced scrutiny, though a heat/hot water complaint from 2021 was reportedly resolved quickly.

The property has an active ECB violation related to boiler inspection reports, with penalties totaling $3,125, and there are multiple active Department of Buildings violations related to failure to file external low-pressure inspections between 2018 and 2023. A significant cluster of violations was documented in 2022 for Unit 4F, including issues with plaster surfaces, ceiling maintenance, and carbon monoxide detection devices. While recent bedbug reports from 2022-2024 show no current infestations (with one reported case in 2020-2021), the building's maintenance history suggests ongoing attention is required to address various building systems and pest management.
