1409 St Johns Place, Brooklyn, NY 11213

1409 St John's Place is a 4-story, 20-unit residential building in Crown Heights, constructed in 1915 and currently owned by Mark Weinberger. The building has experienced recurring issues with heating and hot water systems, with multiple emergency complaints filed throughout 2022-2024, including two simultaneous complaints in October 2024 that were documented as both apartment-specific and building-wide issues. Other notable maintenance concerns include a slow water leak reported in July 2023 (resolved by March 2024), stairway flooring issues documented in February 2023, and various repairs needed throughout 2022 for heat/hot water, flooring, walls, and unsanitary conditions including mold and pests.

The building underwent safety violations inspections in early 2023, revealing issues with stairwell encumbrances and damaged stair nosing, though these were eventually certified as corrected. Earlier violations from 2021-2022 included problems with smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in apartment 16, and safety concerns regarding street-facing balconies and entrance doors. The building's maintenance history shows a relatively recent focus on addressing safety systems, with earlier violations requiring the filing of annual bedbug reports (2021-2023) and various repairs to building infrastructure.

The property has maintained a good record of addressing pest issues, with no documented infestations in recent bedbug reports (2022-2024). Rodent inspections from 2010 to 2019 show a mixed compliance history, with some failed inspections, though more recent filings show improved conditions. While many complaints have been resolved, there is a notable pattern of inspection access issues, where authorities were unable to enter units to verify conditions, as seen in multiple complaints from 2022-2024. The building's combined history of heat/hot water issues, safety system deficiencies, and general maintenance concerns suggests ongoing challenges with building systems and prompt response to resident complaints, though many resolved complaints indicate some level of responsiveness to tenant concerns.
