168 Sterling Place, Brooklyn, NY 11217

168 Sterling Place is a four-story, 8-unit residential building constructed in 1906 located in Park Slope. The property is currently owned by Henry Suthoff and is classified as a "New Law Tenement." The building has experienced several notable events regarding pest management and maintenance compliance over the past decade.

Most recently, in October 2019, there was a rat sighting reported to the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, though this complaint did not have a specified resolution. This was followed by a rat activity finding during an inspection that same month, though subsequent rodent inspections in July 2021 and November 2019 both showed the building had passed. The building has had two housing maintenance code violations related to bedbug reporting requirements in 2021 and 2022, both of which were ultimately closed.

However, these violations appear to be more administrative in nature rather than indicative of an active infestation. Notably, the building has maintained a clean record in terms of actual bedbug infestations, with the most recent filings from December 2024 showing zero infested units during the 2023-2024 reporting period. This pattern of consistent zero infestation reports has been maintained since 2019 through all subsequent annual filings, suggesting effective pest management practices have been implemented since the earlier violations.
