290 St James Place, Brooklyn, NY 11238

290 St James Place is a four-story, four-unit residential building located in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn, and owned by Antone Hernton. The 125-year-old property has experienced several notable maintenance and safety issues over the past decade.

Most recently, in March 2023 and March 2022, the building received Class A Housing Maintenance Code violations for failing to file annual bedbug reports, though these violations were subsequently closed. A significant environmental control board violation from November 2018 remains active and concerns multiple maintenance issues in the boiler room, including debris, ventilation problems, and defective safety equipment. This violation carries a penalty of $655.

Despite these historical concerns, the building's recent bedbug reporting history (2021-2024) shows no evidence of infestations, with all reports indicating zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested dwelling units. Additionally, a rodent inspection conducted in September 2015 resulted in a passing grade, suggesting appropriate pest control measures were in place at that time. The property has generally maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since 2021, with no documented infestations during the current and previous filing periods, though the building's age and history of maintenance violations suggests ongoing monitoring of building conditions would be prudent.
