780 St Johns Place, Brooklyn, NY 11216
780 St. Johns Place is a 4-story, 8-unit New Law Tenement building in Crown Heights, constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Coral Foulkes. The building's maintenance history reveals recurring issues with water damage and pest problems, notably in Unit 1R, which currently has open violations as of January 2025 regarding self-closing door issues. The property has experienced persistent rodent problems, with multiple rat activity reports documented between 2018 and 2025, including recent inspections in 2025 and 2024 showing ongoing rat activity.
In 2024, the building received violations for both mold issues and wall conditions that required attention. Previous years have shown various maintenance concerns including heat/hot water issues in 2023 (where HPD was unable to inspect), pest infestations, and multiple instances requiring plaster and paint repairs. Notably, there have been no reported bedbug infestations in recent years, with the most recent five filings between 2020-2025 showing zero affected units. The building's violation history shows a mix of open and closed violations, with significant issues tackled through inspections and corrective actions.
In 2021, multiple violations were documented in Unit 4R, including concerns about lead paint, pest infestation, and repairs needed for the bell/buzzer/intercom system, though many of these were resolved by 2023. The property has undergone regular inspections by various city agencies, including HPD and DOHMH, with some improvements noted but persistent issues remaining. The most recent violations from September 2024, which were closed in September 2024, concerned both paint/plaster issues and mold, indicating ongoing maintenance challenges. The building's age and history suggest that while some improvements have been made over time, certain fundamental issues, particularly regarding pests and water damage, continue to require attention.
