1339 St Johns Place, Brooklyn, NY 11213

1339 St John's Place is a 4-story, 6-unit residential building constructed in 1907 in the Crown Heights neighborhood, currently owned by Prospect Place Realty LLC. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with multiple emergency complaints in late 2023 and early 2025, though most were resolved quickly with service restoration confirmed during inspections. The property has documented pest control challenges, including active violations for mouse and cockroach infestations in Apartment A3 identified in November 2023, with historical bedbug reporting showing previous infestations. Recent housing maintenance violations from April 2024 include issues with building security (defective entrance lock), sanitation (garbage storage), and heating system notice posting requirements remain open.

The building has two active ECB violations from 2022-2020 related to unauthorized electrical work and improper exhaust discharge placement, with respective penalties of $400 and $1,250. Infrastructure concerns have been documented through multiple 311 complaints in early 2025, including electrical issues and door problems, though inspections found no housing law violations. A rodent inspection in April 2023 passed, following historic pattern showing improvement since a failed inspection in 2014. The property has had three documented food safety incidents (2023-2025), with the most recent food poisoning complaint closed in June 2025, determined to be an isolated incident.

The building's operational history reveals persistent maintenance challenges, particularly regarding building systems such as heat, electrical, and sanitation. While many complaints are resolved upon inspection, the pattern of recurring issues suggests ongoing maintenance concerns. The most recent health-related incidents primarily involve the building's food establishment component, while the residential portion has experienced multiple infrastructure-related complaints, though many have not resulted in housing violations. The property's maintenance record shows improvements in rodent control, with recent inspections passing, but continuing issues with pests in specific units. The building's age and classification as a "New Law Tenement" signify it operates under specific NYC housing maintenance requirements, with current violations indicating areas requiring attention from management.
