1643 St Johns Place, Brooklyn, NY 11233
1643 St Johns Place is a 3-story, 5-unit New Law Tenement building located in Crown Heights, built in 1925 and currently owned by Naresh Bahl. The building has experienced several concerning maintenance issues throughout 2023-2025, with the most recent problem being a power outage in October 2024, which HPD was unable to inspect despite being designated as an immediate emergency. Prior to this, there were substantial plumbing issues in April 2024, including heavy water flow problems and bathtub/shower concerns, which took nearly two months to close.
The building has faced recurring pest infestations, as evidenced by multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations in 2023, with specific citations for mice and roach infestations in apartments 1 and 4. Additionally, both units experienced issues with excessively hot water, exceeding the maximum allowable temperature of 130 degrees. The property's maintenance history reveals repeated challenges with access for inspectors, as seen in multiple 311 complaints and violations where inspectors were unable to gain entry.
These include a power outage inspection in October 2024, rodent and standing water complaints in July 2024, and water leak and plumbing issues in April 2024. Noteworthy violations from 2023 include broken doors at the building entrance and various maintenance issues in specific apartments, such as defective kitchen cabinet doors in apartment 4 and damaged bathtub fixtures. The building's recent bedbug reports from 2021 to 2024 indicate no recorded infestations during these periods, though there were multiple rodent inspection failures between 2015-2018, suggesting fluctuating pest management challenges. The property also had a C-class violation in mid-2023 regarding a missing or defective self-closing door at the building entrance, which was later resolved.
