238 St James Place, Brooklyn, NY 11238
238 St James Place is a 3-story, 4-unit residential building constructed in 1930 and currently owned by Kurt Leplatte. The property has experienced several significant issues over the past few years, most notably a series of violations and complaints related to unpermitted construction work in 2019-2020, which resulted in multiple Environmental Control Board violations totaling $15,000 in penalties. These violations were primarily for failure to comply with a Commissioner's order and work performed without the necessary permits, particularly regarding first-floor demolition and unauthorized installations.
The building underwent several inspections in connection with these violations, and while they were ultimately resolved, the owner faced additional penalties for not filing required certificates of correction. More recently, the building has demonstrated improved compliance, with no reported bedbug infestations in the 2022-2023 period and timely filing of annual bedbug reports. The most recent Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2023-2021 were related to the failure to submit annual bedbug reports, though these were closed after resolution.
The property has also had some health-related service requests, including a 2019 complaint about construction dust affecting indoor air quality, which was closed following review by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. A permit was issued in June 2020, which appears to correspond with the resolution of previous construction-related issues. The building's recent bedbug filing for the 2022-2023 period reports zero infested units, indicating successful pest management.
