775 St Johns Place, Brooklyn, NY 11216
The 16-unit, 4-story apartment building located at 775 St Johns Place in Crown Heights, owned by Jonathan Samet, has experienced recurring maintenance and safety issues over the past two years. Most notably, there have been multiple heating and hot water problems, with several complaints in early 2025 and inspection violations in late 2024 documenting inadequate heat in apartments 2E and 3L.
The building has also faced challenges with basic maintenance, as evidenced by three recent 311 complaints in June 2025 (regarding an electric/gas range and ceiling issues) and a water leak complaint from April 2025, all of which resulted in closed inspections due to lack of access for HPD inspectors. Safety concerns have been documented, including a broken window guard violation from May 2025 and issues with multiple appliances. The building's recent history shows persistent pest control challenges, with rodent activity reported in inspections throughout 2023-2025, and the 2024-2025 bedbug reports show one instance of infestation in 2021.
The property has undergone several inspections revealing various code violations, including problems with carbon monoxide and smoke detectors in apartment 3L (November 2024), and heating system access issues documented in the late 2024 inspection. The building's owner has responded to some violations, as evidenced by certification dates in early 2025 for some issues, though multiple 2025 complaints regarding heat and maintenance suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. The building's history shows an active pattern of complaints and violations, particularly concerning heating systems, pest control, and general maintenance issues, with the most recent complaints continuing to document accessibility challenges for inspections.
