1463 St Johns Place, Brooklyn, NY 11213

This four-story, 32-unit residential building at 1463 St. John's Place, owned by Kenneth Knox, was constructed in 1922 and is classified as a New Law Tenement. The building has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over the past year, with significant concerns regarding heat and hot water systems being particularly prevalent.

Between late 2024 and early 2025, there were multiple complaints about heat and hot water problems affecting both individual apartments and the entire building, with violations issued during inspections. More recent issues in 2025 have included door problems (resulting in violations being issued), a sewage complaint, and a heavy water leak, all of which were classified as emergencies by the Housing Maintenance Code. Other reported issues have included a broken or missing window guard (December 2024) and garbage/recycling storage problems (November 2024), though most of these complaints have been addressed through inspections or other means, with the exception of some recent violations that may require further attention.

The building underwent Local Law 188/17 Compliance Inspections in February 2025, with no violations warranted at the time of inspection. Interestingly, during the bedbug reporting period from November 2023 to October 2024, the building reported zero cases of infestation, suggesting effective pest management during that period. While many of the building's complaints have been resolved through inspections and repairs, the recurring nature of heat and hot water issues suggests ongoing infrastructure challenges.
