524 St Johns Place, Brooklyn, NY 11238

The 13-unit, 6-story building at 524 St. Johns Place in Crown Heights, owned by Emily Chen and completed in 2007, has experienced several notable events over its operation period.

Most recently, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases since 2019, after having only one documented case in its first two years of operation. The building has passed its last three rodent inspections (2023-2025), following a period between 2020-2022 where there were some rodent-related issues, including a rat sighting complaint in 2020. The elevator system has been a consistent area of concern, with active violations dating back to 2019 related to failure to correct defects noted during inspections, though this violation was ultimately resolved in July 2022.

The building has undergone regular inspections, with some complaints in 2020 regarding work without proper permits and construction beyond approved plans, but these issues were likely resolved given the absence of follow-up violations. Health-related issues have emerged periodically, including a ventilation complaint in 2024 and an unsanitary cooling tower incident in 2020, though the latter was investigated and found not to present health hazards. While these issues suggest some environmental maintenance challenges, the relatively recent clean records in rodent inspections and the absence of bedbug complaints for several years indicate improvements in these areas.
