1500 St Johns Place, Brooklyn, NY 11213

The 4-story, 14-unit New Law Tenement at 1500 St. Johns Place in Crown Heights, owned by Abena Holloway and built in 1915, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over recent years. The most pressing concerns involve heat and hot water availability, with emergency complaints filed in 2020 and 2023 regarding complete building outages, though no violations were issued in these cases.

More recently, in 2023, violations were documented for balcony maintenance and a defective fire escape drop ladder, though both have since been closed. The building has faced pest-related challenges, with a significant pest infestation complaint in 2021, and sporadic garbage storage issues noted in 2019. A notable bedbug infestation occurred in late 2024, marking the first such incident in over four years, though the affected unit was reported as eradicated.

The building's systems and infrastructure have seen various maintenance requirements, including repairs to self-closing doors in 2021 and the need for balcony painting. Compliance with inspection requirements has been inconsistent, as evidenced by a violation issued in 2023 for failure to file the 2021 external low pressure inspection, which was later dismissed. The property passed its rodent inspection in 2017, and while there have been multiple complaints and violations over the years, most recent inspections have resulted in the closure of violations with the exception of the June 2023 external low pressure inspection issue.
