1677 St Johns Place, Brooklyn, NY 11233

At 1677 St. Johns Place in Crown Heights, this 4-story, 36-unit New Law Tenement building from 1910 is currently facing several maintenance challenges as of mid-2025. Most concerning are ongoing rodent issues, with multiple inspections showing rat activity throughout 2024-2025, and current open complaints regarding janitorial/super services.

The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water problems, with multiple emergency complaints filed in spring 2025 alone, some of which were building-wide issues. The property has also faced various plumbing issues, including problems with sinks and water supply systems, and violations related to electrical systems. The building's recent history shows a pattern of maintenance challenges, with particular concerns in apartment 4E, where multiple violations for pest infestations (mice and cockroaches) were documented in late 2024. There are also outstanding safety concerns noted in previous inspections, including fire escape issues.

While previous bedbug incidents have shown zero infestation counts in recent years, the building has a documented history of pest control interventions. The property has had several violations and complaints regarding compliance with external inspection requirements, though many of these were dismissed. Although some repairs have been completed, as evidenced by closed violation notices, the recurring nature of these issues suggests ongoing maintenance challenges that require attention. Recent rodent activity continues to be addressed through regular bait applications as shown in inspections from 2024-2025.
