Augrented Insights Report for 1490 St Johns Place

The 8-unit, 2-story building at 1490 St. John's Place in Crown Heights, owned by Blake Gurevitch, has experienced several significant issues in recent years. Most recently, in 2025, there was a complaint about unsanitary garbage/recycling storage that resulted in an HPD inspection but no access was granted for evaluation.

In mid-2024, multiple complaints emerged simultaneously, including sewage problems (one of which resulted in violations), a slow water leak, and these were followed by a pattern of sanitary-related issues. The building currently has several open violations from July 2024 related to safety and inspection requirements, including requirements for smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, evacuation procedures, and drainage systems. The property underwent significant construction activity between 2019-2021, during which time multiple violations were recorded regarding construction safety, including issues with scaffolding, sidewalk protection, and general safety compliance.

These violations resulted in various penalties, though many were subsequently resolved or dismissed. The building has also accumulated several active violations as of 2023 for failure to file external low-pressure inspections between 2018-2021. While the building has passed rodent inspections, the persistent pattern of water-related issues, sewage problems, and open violations suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The most recent DOB inspection in 2025 did not warrant any violations, though this was likely not a comprehensive building safety inspection.
