1222 St Johns Place, Brooklyn, NY 11213
The 16-unit, 4-story tenement building at 1222 St Johns Place in Crown Heights, owned by Ashley Sandler and constructed in 1915, has experienced significant maintenance challenges in recent years. Most notably, in 2025, there were multiple emergency complaints regarding plumbing issues (including basins/sinks), mold problems, and flooring concerns, all of which resulted in violations during HPD inspections. The building has documented recurring heating and plumbing issues, with complaints about heat/hot water problems in both January 2025 (entire building) and February 2025 (apartment-specific).
Multiple units have faced interior maintenance issues, including water leaks, unsanitary conditions, and various repair needs. The building's safety systems have also been a concern, with emergency complaints in April 2025 regarding carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, and fire escape conditions. Violation records indicate persistent building maintenance issues, including a currently active DOB violation from April 2023 regarding the failure to file the 2022 External Low Pressure Inspection.
The building has a documented history of bedbug infestations, with one unit reporting problems in 2022 and another in 2023, though no infestations were reported in the most recent 2024 filing period. Rodent inspections have shown mixed results, with the most recent inspection in June 2024 passing, while earlier inspections between 2018 and 2020 noted periods of rat activity. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with both interior living conditions and building systems, though many recent violations and complaints are still within the correction period established by HPD regulations.
