875 St Johns Place, Brooklyn, NY 11216

The three-story, 12-unit tenement building at 875 St Johns Place in Crown Heights, owned by Jay Gold and constructed in 1904, has experienced recurring plumbing issues over recent years, with numerous complaints filed between 2021 and 2024. Most notably, there were multiple incidents involving water supply problems, including a March 2024 emergency complaint that couldn't be inspected due to access issues, as well as several plumbing-related complaints in 2021 and 2022.

The building has also faced some structural and maintenance challenges, particularly in apartment 12, which had multiple violations in 2021-2022 regarding the bathroom door, kitchen window, sink connection, and various plaster and paint issues, though many of these were eventually certified as corrected. Recent violations indicate ongoing regulatory compliance issues, including multiple active violations for failure to file external low-pressure inspections between 2022 and 2024.

However, on a positive note, the building has maintained a clean record concerning bedbugs and rodents, with all recent bedbug filings showing zero infested or re-infested units, and passed inspections for rodent control in both 2023 and 2024. The most recent HPD inspection from June 2023 noted violations regarding a defective self-closing door at the bulkhead in the public hall, though this was classified as a "C" violation and subsequently closed. While the building has experienced persistent maintenance issues, particularly related to plumbing systems, the management has generally addressed violations when identified, and recent environmental health inspections have shown compliance with pest control requirements.
