220 St James Place, Brooklyn, NY 11238
The 220 St. James Place building in Clinton Hill is a 4-story, 8-unit New Law Tenement built in 1905, currently owned by Andrew Doppelt. The property has experienced several recurring maintenance issues, particularly in recent years, with the most notable being concerning plumbing and heating systems.
In late 2024, there were unresolved plumbing concerns about water supply, and in April 2024, HPD issued violations related to heat and hot water systems. The building's infrastructure appears to be struggling, with multiple complaints about building access, security features, and systems maintenance. A significant cluster of problems emerged in 2024 centered around Apartment 3R, which reported issues including an active pest infestation (both roaches and mice), water leak problems, heating system deficiencies, and various interior maintenance concerns.
The property has shown persistent rodent activity, with confirmed sightings in 2024 (April and May), and an active rat inspection in May 2024 confirmed rodent issues. There were also documented indoor air quality concerns in early 2024, including reports of chemical vapors and sewage odors. While the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations over the past several years (with no reported cases from 2021 through 2024), the overall pattern of maintenance complaints suggests ongoing challenges with building systems and pest control. The most recent inspections under Local Law 188/17 in June 2025 did not result in any violations, but the property has a history of multiple violations that required attention and repair, particularly between 2023-2024.
