172 Sterling Place, Brooklyn, NY 11217

172 Sterling Place is a four-story, eight-unit residential building located in Park Slope, constructed in 1906 and currently owned by Perry Young. The building has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues over recent years. Most notably, there is an active Department of Buildings violation from December 2021 related to a failure to perform a required Category 5 inspection, which remains unresolved as of October 2023.

The building has also faced repeated Housing Maintenance Code violations regarding bedbug reporting requirements in 2021 and 2023, though subsequent filings from 2023 through 2024 show no reported bedbug infestations or eradications. The building's history reveals persistent pest management challenges, particularly in 2019 when multiple rodent inspections were conducted, with several showing rat activity and bait application. Though these inspections are now several years old, they indicate previous concerns with pest control in the building.

In October 2024, there was a complaint regarding a defective or inoperative boiler, though this was inspected and determined to have no violations. Additionally, the property has maintained regular bedbug reporting since 2020, with the most recent filing for the period of November 2023 to October 2024 showing no infestation activity. While many of these issues have been addressed or occurred several years ago, the building's record shows a pattern of maintenance challenges that have required ongoing attention from both management and city agencies.
