1159 St Johns Place, Brooklyn, NY 11213

The 4-story, 8-unit tenement building at 1159 St Johns Place in Crown Heights, owned by Shahla Tashkhisi and built in 1931, has experienced several notable maintenance and compliance issues over the past decade. Most recently, in July 2021, the building received violations related to unsanitary conditions involving garbage and recycling storage in the front yard.

A significant cluster of violations was documented on August 4, 2011, primarily affecting the first-floor Apartment 1, including issues with paint requirements, smoke detector maintenance, carbon monoxide detector replacement, and problems with plaster surfaces. This apartment also faced two violations regarding unauthorized alterations requiring legalization, specifically related to suspended acoustic tiles in the kitchen and bathroom ceilings.

The building's compliance history shows some concerns about its certificate of occupancy status, with a complaint filed in February 2019 regarding potentially illegal conditions, though inspectors were unable to gain access during their final inspection attempt in April 2019. However, one notable positive aspect of the building's recent history is its consistently clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with annual reports from 2020 through 2024 showing zero infested or eradicated units, indicating effective pest management practices. While the building has experienced various maintenance issues over the years, particularly in 2011, the more recent history shows fewer documented violations, though some older violations from 2011 remain in an open status as of the latest available data.
