This 6-unit, 3-story New Law tenement building located at 827 St Johns Place in Crown Heights was built in 1931 and is currently owned by Felix Modeste.

The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs, with all annual reports from 2020 through 2024 showing zero infested or eradicated units.
The building faced an appliance and heat/hot water emergency situation in December 2020, which was promptly investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), though no violations were issued. During the same inspection, violations were recorded in apartment 3L regarding a missing carbon monoxide detector and a defective closet door, both of which were certified as corrected in early 2021. In 2024, there was an investigation regarding illegal hotel rooms in the building, though this complaint was closed with no violations found upon inspection.
