1646 St Johns Place, Brooklyn, NY 11233

The three-story, three-unit tenement building at 1646 St Johns Place in Crown Heights, built in 1899 and currently owned by Antoine Oakes, has a significant pattern of unresolved housing maintenance code violations over the past four years. All four violations, issued between 2021 and 2024, relate to the building's failure to file the required annual bedbug reports as mandated by HPD regulations, and these violations remain open as of the most recent inspection in April 2024.

The building has a documented history of rodent inspections, passing in 2017 and 2010, though it did fail one initial inspection in June 2010 for unspecified reasons. On the permitted work front, a Class A permit was issued in January 2021 under job number 300937146, which is typically associated with alterations to residential buildings. The most pressing concern for the building is the recurring issue with bedbug report compliance, as evidenced by four consecutive years of violations.

While rodent inspections have generally shown compliance, the failed 2010 inspection suggests there may have been past pest control challenges. The age of the building (126 years) and its classification as a 'New Law Tenement' indicate it was built before New York City's housing regulations were established, though it has been subject to these regulations since their implementation. The persistent bedbug report violation pattern indicates a potential ongoing administrative oversight regarding housing maintenance requirements.
