1145 St Johns Place, Brooklyn, NY 11213

This four-story New Law Tenement building at 1145 St Johns Place in Crown Heights, owned by Yosef Hackner, has been subject to several notable issues over recent years. Most concerning is the current open violation from April 2024 regarding the failure to file the annual bedbug report, which follows a pattern of similar violations in 2021, 2022, and 2023, though the 2023 report shows no infested units. The building experienced significant maintenance challenges in 2020, with several complaints about unsafe conditions, including a failure to maintain building code compliance that resulted in multiple Environmental Control Board violations.

These violations, which included a dislodged coping stone above the main entryway, carried penalties totaling $4,375, though records show they were resolved. The property has a documented history of rodent issues, particularly in 2018-2019, with multiple inspections showing rat activity and the application of bait. There have also been recurring violations regarding inadequate lighting at the front entrance, with multiple citations from 2008 through 2014, though these were eventually certified as corrected in 2023.

Three illegal hotel-related incidents were recorded, with the most recent in May 2025 resulting in a violation. The building appears to have undergone some permitted work in 2021-2022, as evidenced by multiple permit issuances, though the specific nature of this work is not detailed in the records. Recent bedbug-related violations suggest some ongoing challenges with pest management, despite the most recent report showing no infested units during the 2021-2022 reporting period.
