1361 St Johns Place, Brooklyn, NY 11213

1361 St. Johns Place is a four-story, eight-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1929 and currently owned by Eric Vazquez. The building has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, most notably a series of complaints filed in December 2024 regarding a slow water leak, electrical problems with outlets and switches, wall conditions requiring paint/plaster work, and a cooking gas issue, all of which were investigated by HPD but did not result in housing law violations being cited.

Additional maintenance concerns have emerged, including mold and flooring issues documented in October 2023, and a heat/hot water complaint affecting the entire building from March 2023, though records indicate these issues were resolved promptly. The building had notable issues in 2021 when Apartment 1B reported multiple violations including plumbing problems, defective kitchen cabinets, missing radiator cover, and pest infestations, though many of these violations were subsequently closed. The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with all reports from 2021 to the present showing zero affected units, suggesting effective pest management.

Two rodent inspections in 2017 and 2018 resulted in passing grades. The building's most recent inspection from April 2024 revealed an outstanding Class A violation regarding the annual bedbug reporting requirement, which appears to be the only open violation on record. While the building has experienced various maintenance issues over the years, the majority have been addressed promptly and have not resulted in significant resident safety concerns, with the most recent complaints being primarily related to water, electrical, and cosmetic issues rather than structural or health hazards.
