Augrented Insights Report for 1280 St Johns Place

1280 St Johns Place is a four-story New Law tenement building located in Crown Heights, containing 76 units and owned by Louis Koplowitz. Built in 1919, the building has experienced several notable issues in recent years, particularly during 2024-2025. Most significantly, there were multiple housing code violations documented in late 2024, primarily affecting apartments 3E and 4A, including problems with mold, pest infestations (including mice and roaches), and various maintenance issues such as broken tiles and peeling paint.

In May 2025, several complaints were filed regarding plumbing problems, door issues, and wall conditions, with some violations being issued related to paint and plaster issues. The building also had some emergency maintenance needs addressed in June 2025, including water leaks and cabinet problems. The property has undergone regular rodent inspections, with the most recent occurring in June 2025, which passed without issues, though there was one instance of rat activity noted in 2020.

Other maintenance concerns include a Department of Buildings inspection in 2023 regarding building shaking, which resulted in a violation, and multiple environmental control board violations in 2023 related to boiler and hallway maintenance. Despite these challenges, the building has maintained an active bedbug reporting record since 2022, showing zero infested units in each annual report, indicating effective pest management practices. Recent housing maintenance code complaints from May 2025 suggest ongoing maintenance issues, though many were resolved through inspections by HPD and other agencies, often requiring the owner to correct violations within specified timeframes.
