1652 St Johns Place, Brooklyn, NY 11233

The three-story, three-unit building at 1652 St John's Place in Crown Heights, owned by Maayan Zik and constructed in 2004, has experienced multiple concerning issues over recent years. Most notably, there is currently an open rodent violation as of April 2024, following recent rat sightings in the vicinity. The building has consistently failed to file mandatory annual bedbug reports with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) from 2021 through 2024, which represents a significant ongoing compliance issue.

Other infrastructure concerns include a power outage in November 2022, and various maintenance violations identified in 2018, such as inadequate lighting at the front entrance, missing wood handrails at public stairs, insufficient garbage receptacles, and hot water supply issues in apartment 2L. The property has also faced some environmental and regulatory challenges. In 2018, there was an Environmental Control Board violation related to a registered parking violation for an unregistered vehicle on the property, though this was resolved with no penalties.

More recently, there have been complaints regarding illegal curb cut/driveway use in 2023 and 2025, with the 2023 complaint being unsubstantiated based on department records. Rodent inspections in 2024 showed compliance failures, though the building passed a rodent inspection in 2017. While the building has been maintained as a Class A dwelling, these ongoing violations and service requests suggest persistent systemic maintenance and compliance challenges that may impact resident quality of life.
