853 St. Johns Place is a 10-unit, 3-story residential building located in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, constructed in 1904. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with the most recent complaint filed in March 2025 indicating inadequate building-wide heat and hot water conditions that resulted in a violation. Other notable maintenance concerns include electrical problems (June 2024), water leak issues (June 2024), and multiple heat and hot water complaints during July-August 2023, suggesting ongoing infrastructural challenges. The building's history reveals various maintenance violations, including an open Class C violation from March 2022 regarding a defective entrance door lock, though previous violations related to egress obstruction from flower pots and bikes were resolved.
The building has undergone several important inspections and maintenance activities, including successful rodent inspections in 2023 and 2024, though a rat activity violation was recorded in 2011. Water-related issues have been a recurring theme, with multiple leak complaints documented between 2022 and 2024. The property's exterior has faced scrutiny, with multiple Environmental Control Board violations in 2018 concerning facade maintenance and window sill cracks, though these were eventually resolved. Importantly, the building has maintained a pest-free record, with no bedbug infestations reported in the past three years, according to the annual bedbug reporting requirement. Recent maintenance responses indicate both emergency interventions and some limitations in gaining apartment access for inspections, particularly regarding the most recent heat/hot water complaint.
