1530 St Johns Place, Brooklyn, NY 11213

The three-story, two-family house at 1530 St Johns Place in Crown Heights, currently owned by Roy Garcia, has experienced several noteworthy incidents since 2017, with the most significant occurring in late 2020.

In October 2020, the building was subject to multiple safety-related complaints and violations, including issues with the fire escape and an illegal or defective gas hook-up/piping situation, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify these conditions. The building also received two housing maintenance code violations during this period: a Class C violation regarding a broken or defective lock at the building entrance door on the first story, recorded in October 2020 and certified as resolved by December 2020, and a Class A violation for failure to properly post and maintain the building's registration number and address, which was certified as corrected by February 2021.

On a more positive note, there was a rodent inspection conducted in March 2017 which resulted in a passing grade, suggesting no active pest issues at that time. As of October 2023, the most recent available data shows that while some issues from 2020 have been addressed, the open violation regarding the building entrance door lock remains notable, though this is now over three years old.
