859 St Johns Place, Brooklyn, NY 11216
859 St Johns Place is a 6-unit, 3-story residential building located in Crown Heights, built in 1904 and currently owned by Mamie Gill. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years, with the most concerning being two active violations from August 2022 in Apartment 1R related to failure to comply with lead paint documentation requirements, including not providing required records and failing to notify occupants of lead-based paint hazards.
The building has also faced recurring heating issues, with a notable complaint in January 2022 about lack of heat and hot water, though these services were reportedly restored. The Department of Buildings records reveal ongoing compliance challenges, with three active violations issued in 2023 and 2024 for failure to file External Low Pressure Inspection reports, and multiple attempts at Local Law 188/17 Compliance Inspections where inspectors were either unable to gain access or, in one instance in November 2023, completed the inspection with no enforcement action required.
The building has experienced periodic rodent problems, with initial inspections in 2022 and 2024 showing rat activity, though a compliance inspection in July 2024 resulted in a passing grade. Notably, the building has maintained a zero infestation rate for bedbugs in its annual reporting from 2021 through 2024, suggesting effective pest management in this regard. While the property has faced various maintenance challenges, including heat system failures and compliance issues, recent inspections indicate some improvements, particularly in pest control, though the active violations regarding lead paint compliance remain a significant concern as of the most recent inspection records.
