682 St Johns Place, Brooklyn, NY 11216

682 St Johns Place is a 3-story, 6-unit residential building located in Crown Heights, constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Rong Li. The property has experienced recurring heating and hot water issues, with multiple emergency complaints filed between 2021 and 2025, including three filed in 2024 and most recently in January 2025, though inspectors often faced challenges gaining access to verify the conditions.

Notably, there are significant open violations from a December 2022 inspection of Apartment 1R, including rodent infestations (mice and roaches), plumbing issues, water damage, and problems with smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. The building has also faced infrastructure challenges, evidenced by a 2024 plumbing complaint, a water leak issue in 2021, and a concerning gas piping violation from February 2023 that resulted in $15,500 in penalties (though there appears to be some credit adjustment reducing the balance to -$12,110).

Rodent inspections have shown varying results, with some 2023 inspections indicating rat activity, though the most recent inspections from 2024 and 2025 have passed. While the building has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, showing zero infested units over multiple reporting periods, the persistent heating system issues and open violations in Apartment 1R suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. The property received some attention to heating system compliance, with no violations issued following a February 2021 inspection, though the frequency of subsequent complaints raises continuing concerns about system reliability.
