631 St Johns Place, Brooklyn, NY 11216
631 St Johns Place is a 4-story, 6-unit Old Law Tenement building built in 1931 and currently owned by G Franklin Corp. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, most notably in June 2023 when multiple service requests were filed regarding unsanitary conditions (specifically pest issues), water leaks, and problems with various appliances including an electric/gas range and refrigerator. While these complaints were inspected by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), no violations were issued.
A concerning pattern of rodent activity has been documented through multiple inspections between 2023 and 2024, with bait application noted in October 2023. The building has an active violation regarding the failure to file the 2023 External Low Pressure Inspection, issued in September 2024. Previous violations from 2023 regarding the failure to file 2018 and 2019 inspections were dismissed in December 2024.
In December 2019, there were multiple heat/hot water complaints, some marked as emergencies, and a paint/plaster violation was also recorded. The building's bedbug reporting history from 2020-2022 shows no documented infestations, though inspection records indicate the need for attention to pest management. Several open violations from 2020 remain unresolved concerning proper notification requirements for gas leaks, carbon monoxide detection, smoke detector requirements, and other safety-related postings in common areas. The most recent Department of Buildings complaints in 2025 regarding work without permits were closed with inspectors unable to gain access for verification.
