429 Sterling Place, Brooklyn, NY 11238

429 Sterling Place is a 4-story, 8-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1908 in Prospect Heights, currently owned by Rony Kravel. The property has experienced significant maintenance issues in recent months, with multiple complaints and violations related to water leaks, pests, and structural conditions. In October 2024 alone, there were eight separate complaints about water leaks (including heavy flow, slow leaks, damp spots, and heavy flow), two complaints about pests, and issues with flooring.

These complaints, along with three additional complaints about mold and ceiling problems, were addressed by HPD inspections, though some inspections could not be completed. Notably, there is one **open Class C violation** related to defective self-closing doors in Apartment 3R as of October 2024, and two active DOB violations from June 2023 regarding failure to file external low pressure inspections (for 2018 and 2019). The building's recent history shows a mix of resolved and ongoing maintenance challenges.

Between 2019 and 2023, there were several notable issues, including a pattern of heating system problems in Apartment 1R (radiator replacement, noise issues) and door-related violations. While the building has demonstrated compliance with bedbug reporting requirements from 2020-2023, with zero reported infestations, rodent inspections show varied results, with evidence of rat activity recorded in 2024 and 2023, though the most recent inspection in June 2025 passed. The property has maintained compliance with the bedbug reporting requirements, showing no infestations between 2020 and 2023.
