811 St Johns Place, Brooklyn, NY 11216
The 3-story tenement building at 811 St John's Place in Crown Heights, owned by Winterfield Jajoute, has experienced recurring maintenance issues over recent years, with the most pressing concerns centering around water-related problems. In 2025, there were two rodent-related complaints, including one where inspectors could not access the site, though a subsequent inspection in June 2025 passed.
The building has a significant history of plumbing and water-related issues, with multiple complaints in 2023 including heavy flow water leaks, unsanitary conditions, and various infrastructure problems. Housing Maintenance Code violations as of 2024-2025 include open violations for missing radiator valves, need for proper signage, and safety-related issues such as window guard requirements. The building has multiple active Department of Buildings violations regarding the failure to file yearly external low-pressure inspections between 2018 and 2023, which could indicate potential safety equipment concerns.
Additionally, while there have been periods of rat activity (notably in 2018, 2019, 2023, and initially in 2025), recent inspections show improvements with the most recent rat activity being addressed. The property has documented internal maintenance issues including problems with flooring, electrical systems, plumbing fixtures, and mold, as evidenced by Housing Maintenance Code complaints in 2023. The building's maintenance record shows a pattern of reactive rather than preventive maintenance, with multiple issues requiring inspection and correction, though some violations from 2023-2024 remain open as of the latest available data.
