1536 St Johns Place, Brooklyn, NY 11213
1536 St. John's Place is a 27-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement building constructed in 1919, currently owned by Yida Stern and located in the Crown Heights neighborhood of Brooklyn. The building's maintenance history reveals persistent issues with heat and water service, pest infestations, and building maintenance concerns.
Between 2024 and early 2025, several complaints were logged regarding unsanitary conditions related to pests, with violations issued in December 2024 specifically noting infestations in apartments 3C and 4A. Recent service requests in January 2025 indicate problems with heat and hot water, though these were reportedly resolved during HPD's inspection. Multiple complaints about windows, doors, and various interior surfaces were recorded, with some inspections unable to gain access to the affected units. The building's systems have shown recurring issues, including water leaks (both slow and damp), concerns about flooring and stairs, and multiple violations regarding safety equipment.
Notably, an inspection in November 2024 identified several violations in apartment 3C, including defective plaster surfaces, pest infestations, and issues with smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. The property has experienced ongoing rodent activity, as documented in multiple rodent inspections between 2019 and 2023, with the most recent inspections in 2023 showing rat activity. While the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations over the past five filing periods (2020-2024), the persistent nature of other maintenance issues suggests ongoing challenges with building upkeep. The most recent documented complaint about the building's structure, regarding a bulging/cracked wall, was investigated in 2023 but found no violations.
