1316 St Johns Place, Brooklyn, NY 11213

The 4-story, 8-unit tenement at 1316 St John's Place in Crown Heights, built in 1908, has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, with the most recent cluster of complaints occurring in September 2024, including reported problems with cabinets, electrical lighting, plumbing (sink), and mold, though no violations were issued for most of these complaints. The building has a history of infrastructure challenges, including multiple plumbing issues (with violations noted in 2023), electrical problems, and heating system complaints, most notably a heating emergency affecting the entire building in January 2024.

A significant cluster of violations was documented in June 2023, particularly affecting apartments 6, 7, and 8, involving issues with electrical systems, water leaks, flooring, and safety equipment like carbon monoxide detectors. The building's management has shown some responsiveness to issues, as evidenced by the prompt closure of many recent complaints and the filing of bedbug reports showing no infestations between November 2023 and October 2024, with rodent inspections showing passing results in 2024.

However, there are still several open violations as of 2024, including a failure to maintain proper building registration signage at the entrance. Historical data indicates a pattern of rat activity in 2018, though recent inspections in 2024 show compliance with rodent control measures. The property has generally passed health inspections, including a DOHMH inspection for unsanitary conditions in April 2024 that found no violations, though there was one instance of an indoor air quality complaint requiring a corrective letter to management.
