1329 St Johns Place, Brooklyn, NY 11213

The 5-story New Law Tenement building at 1329 St. John's Place in Crown Heights, constructed in 1906 and currently owned by 1329 Realty LLC, has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues over the past few years, with multiple building-wide complaints documented between 2022 and 2025.

Most recently, in February 2025, emergency heat/hot water complaints were filed and closed, though there remains an open complaint from December 2024. The building is currently facing significant violations as of July 2024, including multiple instances of unlawful single-room occupancy usage across tenanted units (Apts 101, 102, 103, 201, 202, 203, 301, 302, 401), along with pest-related issues in units 102 and 203 where roach infestations were reported but not yet certified as abated. The property's maintenance history shows a pattern of heating system challenges, with 13 documented heat/hot water complaints between 2020 and 2025, some marked as emergencies.

Other maintenance issues have included concerns with plumbing (bathtub/shower issues in 2024 and steam pipe/riser problems in 2021), window frame repairs (December 2024), and a pest-related sanitary condition complaint in 2020. While the building's management has responded to many complaints, there have been instances where inspectors were unable to gain access to verify conditions, such as during the 2023 and 2024 heat complaints. The building's bedbug reporting history from 2019-2023 shows no infestations, and rodent inspections between 2015 and 2018 indicate generally passing results, though there was a failure for "Other Reasons" noted in June 2018.
