807 St Johns Place, Brooklyn, NY 11216
807 St Johns Place is a 3-story, 12-unit residential building constructed in 1931 in Crown Heights, currently owned by Yosi Damer. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues, most notably two significant heat and hot water incidents in March 2022 affecting the entire building. In late 2018, multiple emergency complaints were filed within the same month regarding various safety and maintenance concerns, including problems with stairways, electrical wiring, and fire escape systems.
More recent inspections in 2023 and 2024 have revealed several open violations, including issues with carbon monoxide detectors, fire escape safety, and rodent activity. Specifically, as of July 2025, there are still open violations related to bedbug reporting requirements from 2023-2024, and rodent control remains a persistent problem with multiple inspections showing rat activity in 2023-2024. The building has undergone various inspections and received multiple violation notices between 2023 and 2024, including significant issues in apartment 2B such as a drop ladder in landing position at the fire escape in 2023, a lockable door lock installed on a fire escape window, and a carbon monoxide detector that required replacement.
While the property has shown some responsiveness to violations, with several being closed through certification (e.g., door issues and carbon monoxide detector violations in 2B), many important safety concerns remain unresolved. The building's history with rodent issues is particularly notable, with multiple rat activity reports between 2014 and 2024, though there was one period of compliance passed in July 2023. Additionally, there is one active building permit from September 2021 for electrical work that remains in strung-out status as of this report date.
