1326 St Johns Place, Brooklyn, NY 11213

1326 St Johns Place is a 4-story, 8-unit New Law tenement building located in Crown Heights and built in 1908, currently owned by Thomas Wellington. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with five emergency complaints filed between January 4-24, 2025, all confirming building-wide problems, some with restored services confirmed by inspectors. In 2022, there were multiple heat-related complaints, and significant maintenance violations were identified in Unit 5, including mold, pest infestation, and safety equipment issues such as missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.

The building has an ongoing issue with facility maintenance compliance, as evidenced by four active Department of Buildings violations issued in 2023 for failure to file external low pressure inspections from 2019-2022. While recent bedbug reports (2021-2024) show minimal infestation history with none reported in the last two filing periods, the building has experienced pest challenges as indicated by a 2022 unsanitary condition complaint. Rodent activity has been an issue, particularly in 2021, with multiple bait applications and inspections showing varying levels of infestation, though recent inspections have shown compliance and passing results since 2022.

The building's recent inspection history shows attention to heat and hot water system maintenance, though with continuing issues as of early 2025. Earlier violations from 2022 in Unit 5 suggested a range of maintenance problems including mold, pest control issues, and various safety concerns, many of which were subsequently addressed and certified. The property has demonstrated efforts to address pest control, as shown by the absence of bedbug infestation reports since mid-2021, though 2022 complaints regarding unsanitary conditions and various rodent inspections indicate historical pest management challenges.
