Augrented Insights Report for 1259 St Johns Place

1259 St Johns Place is a 4-story, 11-unit New Law Tenement building located in Crown Heights and owned by Steven Schechter. The building, constructed in 1913, has experienced several maintenance issues over the past five years, with the most recent concerns primarily focused on safety compliance.

Active Department of Buildings violations from 2018-2024 indicate ongoing failures to file the required annual External Low Pressure Inspection reports, with the most recent violation issued in September 2024. Multiple open violations from February 2020 relate to safety signage requirements, including postings for carbon monoxide detector requirements, emergency procedures for gas leaks, smoke detector requirements, and building registration information.

The building's maintenance history includes various tenant complaints that were generally addressed, such as door frame issues and mailbox problems in 2021, an emergency heat/hot water complaint in 2020 (for which inspectors could not gain access), and a sewage-related issue in early 2020. While the building has maintained a consistent record of bedbug reporting (2018-2024) showing no infestations, and passed rodent inspections in 2017, the persistent issues with safety signage and the failure to submit required safety inspections represent the most significant ongoing concerns. The building's historical records show some permitted work in 2019, including electrical, plumbing, and alteration-related permits, though specific details of this work are not provided in the available data.
