873 St Johns Place, Brooklyn, NY 11216

873 St Johns Place is a 14-unit, 3-story New Law Tenement building in Crown Heights, constructed in 1904 and currently owned by 869 Properties LLC. The building has experienced multiple maintenance issues in recent years, with the most significant cluster of complaints occurring in early 2025, including plumbing problems (basin/sink), ceiling paint issues, and a refrigerator issue; notably, HPD inspectors were unable to gain access to investigate these complaints. Prior to this, there were several electrical concerns in August 2024 involving lighting, wiring, and outlet/switch issues, with at least one violation issued.

Housing Maintenance Code violations remain open from August 2024 for Apartment 7, including issues with electrical lighting, wood molding, bathroom tiles, ceiling plaster, and paint. The building's maintenance history also includes a period of multiple bedbug infestation reports showing zero infested units from 2021 to 2025, and consistent rodent inspections passing in 2013, 2023, and 2024, indicating good pest management. Earlier historical issues included roof repair needs identified in 2021, and more recently, a 2025 bedbug report showed no infestations during the previous year.

The building's age and history of maintenance calls suggest ongoing upkeep challenges. While some complaints have been resolved, both recent and past violations indicate persistent maintenance needs. The property shows a pattern of complaints being generated and closed without resolutions being verified through inspections or follow-up communication, particularly in 2025, which may affect tenant comfort and building condition assessment.
