11 Virginia Place, Brooklyn, NY 11213

This three-story, two-family house at 11 Virginia Place in Crown Heights, owned by Amini Kajunju and built in 1902, has experienced several maintenance issues during 2024 that warrant attention. The property has recorded multiple infrastructure problems, including persistent water leaks (documented in both non-emergency and emergency scenarios), bathtub/shower plumbing issues, electrical concerns (involving outlets, wiring, and an electric/gas range), and various interior maintenance needs such as wall plastering/painting and door/window repairs.

Notably, between January and March 2024 alone, there were eight separate HPD complaints, and multiple housing maintenance code violations, including emergencies related to mold and plumbing problems, though all these complaints ultimately resulted in no violations being issued upon inspection. More recently, in early 2025, the building has two significant Department of Buildings complaints under investigation: an active complaint as of January 2024 regarding illegal conversion, and a January 2024 complaint concerning the Certificate of Occupancy status, which was closed in December 2024 with no violations found at the time of inspection.

The property experienced similar issues in 2023, with documented water leaks, interior maintenance concerns, and heating system problems. Of particular note are safety-related inspections in January 2024 that flagged broken/missing window guards and carbon monoxide detector concerns, though these violations were also closed without penalties after inspection. The building's maintenance history indicates ongoing challenges with basic systems, though most complaints have been resolved through inspection processes without formal violations.
