Augrented Insights Report for 881 St Johns Place

881 St. John's Place is a 3-story, 12-unit New Law tenement building constructed in 1904, currently owned by William White and located in Crown Heights. The building has a documented history of significant maintenance challenges, with the most concerning issues stemming from a 2020 fire incident that affected multiple units including apartments 3, 4, 9, and 10 on July 27, 2020.

This fire event resulted in several open Class C violations requiring the abatement of fire damage, alongside additional open violations related to public hall lighting and electrical service issues across all three stories. These violations, while not directly impacting habitable space, suggest ongoing safety and maintenance concerns. The building has also experienced repeated issues with bedbug reporting compliance, with open violations in 2024 and previous violations in 2023 and 2022, though recent bedbug reports (2023 and 2021 filings) indicate no current infestation issues, with all previously infested units reported as eradicated.

More recent developments show some improvement in general building conditions, with passed rodent inspections in 2023 and 2024, and recent bedbug reports showing no active infestations for the 2021-2022 period. However, the building remains under scrutiny for outstanding violations, including an active Environmental Control Board violation from July 2020 regarding damaged fire escape conditions on the second floor affecting emergency egress. There is also a notable active DOB violation related to areas of browntone and brick spalling, damaged fire-retardant ceiling conditions, missing apartment finishes, and issues with broken apartment entry doors, indicating ongoing building maintenance issues. While there have been multiple complaints filed with the Department of Buildings, most have been closed without violation, suggesting some responsiveness to resident concerns, though the persistence of certain active violations indicates addressing these issues has been more complex.
