865 St Johns Place, Brooklyn, NY 11216
The three-story, 12-unit New Law Tenement at 865 St. Johns Place in Crown Heights, built in 1904 and owned by Eli Kraus, has experienced various maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most recent concerns emerging in early 2025. Multiple service requests from February 2025 regarding flooring, electrical wiring, and plumbing issues all resulted in closed complaints due to inspectors being unable to gain access for inspections.
In August 2024, the building faced several maintenance issues including window pane problems (with violations issued), electrical wiring concerns, and refrigerator appliance issues, though not all resulted in violations. Earlier complaints in February 2024 indicated heat and hot water problems affecting the entire building, with some restoration confirmed by tenants. The building has documented history of maintenance violations and requirements, particularly in Apartment 1C, including electrical fixture issues, window repairs, and bathroom tile problems noted in 2024.
Apartment 2C has had various violations recorded in 2022, ranging from bathroom mold and pest issues to multiple maintenance concerns. A significant outstanding issue from 2019 regarding the failure to file an annual boiler inspection report remains active with the Department of Buildings. On a positive note, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no cases reported in recent years (2020-2024), and has passed rodent inspections conducted in June 2023 and June 2024. The property has consistently filed required bedbug reports showing zero infestations since 2019, indicating effective management of pest control protocols.
