1734 St Johns Place, Brooklyn, NY 11233

The 18-unit, 5-story building at 1734 St Johns Place in Crown Heights, owned by Christopher Bramwell and completed in 2010, has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues throughout its occupancy. Between late 2023 and early 2025, there were multiple complaints regarding inadequate heat and hot water, with at least seven incidents requiring HPD intervention, though inspections often found no violations. The building has also faced significant maintenance challenges, including a cluster of violations in 2024 that affected apartment 1A, with documented issues including roach and mice infestations, visible mold conditions in the bathroom, and problems with multiple windows in apartments 1A and 2A.

The elevator system, which had compliance violations in 2018-2021 regarding safety devices and phone systems, appears to have been properly maintained based on recent records. While the building's management has responded to various complaints, there are notable patterns of recurring issues, particularly with heating systems. More recently, a rodent activity inspection was conducted in June 2025, following previous inspections in response to service requests.

The Property has demonstrated consistent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, showing no infestations from at least 2019 through 2025. Separate records from 2010 indicate initial rat activity, suggesting ongoing pest management challenges since the building's opening. In terms of recent maintenance improvements, most violations were closed appropriately, including prompt resolutions to heating system complaints when conditions were verified by inspectors. Though the building has faced periodic maintenance challenges, current records show no active violations, and historical compliance issues appear to have been addressed systematically, with the most recent building-wide HVAC complaints being handled through standard HPD processes.
