1507 St Johns Place, Brooklyn, NY 11213
The 20-unit, 4-story tenement building at 1507 St Johns Place in Crown Heights, built in 1915 and currently owned by Jay Silver, has experienced recurring maintenance issues throughout 2025, particularly with water and heating systems. Between January and March 2025, there were multiple complaints about heat and hot water outages affecting the entire building, along with plumbing issues including water supply problems and heavy flow leaks.
The building has also faced challenges with window maintenance, evidenced by a March 2025 violation regarding window frames, and emergency plumbing issues documented in June 2025. Rodent activity has been a persistent concern, with rodent inspections in 2023 and early 2024 showing evidence of rat activity, though previous inspections from 2016-2019 had passed successfully. The property has a history of various maintenance violations and complaints, including a 2019 Environmental Control Board violation regarding fire stopping requirements in the supermarket area, which resulted in penalties totaling $10,000.
More recent violations from 2024 specifically noted issues in apartment C3, including problems with hot water temperature, floor tiles, and pest infestations that required correction. The building has undergone multiple inspections for bedbug and pest management between 2019 and 2024, with most recent reports showing no current infestations. While the building has experienced numerous maintenance challenges, many historical violations have been resolved, including a 2024 violation regarding broken elevator drop door equipment, which was repaired in January 2025.
