1358 St Johns Place, Brooklyn, NY 11213

1358 St. John's Place is a 4-story, 8-unit New Law Tenement building located in Crown Heights, constructed in 1925 and currently owned by Manny Stein. The building has recently experienced significant maintenance issues, most notably with heating and hot water systems, with multiple emergency complaints filed in June 2024 indicating persistent problems affecting the entire building.

These complaints were marked as duplicates and an original complaint remained open despite some reports of restoration. May 2024 brought additional challenges, including multiple complaints about doors and windows, though inspections resulted in no violations for most of these issues, except for one door frame complaint. A concerning pattern of unsanitary conditions emerged in May 2024, with two violations issued related to pest infestations, particularly in Apartment 6, while additional violations noted problems with door closers and hardware. The building's history shows ongoing concerns with infrastructure maintenance, including several complaints about the boiler system in 2018, leading to violations regarding failure to file inspection reports.

While more recent inspections in 2024 showed some improvements, with certified corrections to certain violations related to gas leak procedures and vestibule door latches, several Class C violations remain open. The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs, with all annual reports from 2019 through 2024 showing zero infested or eradicated units. Previous rodent issues were documented in 2016-2018, but recent inspections have not indicated any active rodent problems. The building's violation history includes both resolved and active violations, with particular attention needed for the open violation regarding self-closing doors at the vestibule entrance, which poses a potential safety concern.
