635 Sterling Place, Brooklyn, NY 11238
635 Sterling Place is a 3-story, 8-unit New Law Tenement building located in Crown Heights, constructed in 1905 and currently owned by Austen Rabbie. The building has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues over the past five years. Most notably, between 2023 and 2024, there were two major complaints regarding unsanitary conditions related to garbage/recycling storage and door issues, though inspections could not be completed due to access problems.
The building had multiple violations during construction work in 2019-2020, including serious safety concerns related to scaffolding, guardrails, and worker safety protocols, resulting in several Environmental Control Board violations and fines, though these were subsequently resolved. Prior to these issues, the building maintained good compliance records, with regular rodent inspections (2021-2025) consistently passing, and no bedbug infestations reported in the last three years, with the most recent reports showing zero infestions and eradications. The property has seen regular maintenance and compliance checks, with permit activity indicating ongoing work and improvements between 2018 and 2020.
Historical violations from earlier years include an unsatisfactory bedbug report filing in 2021 and door-related issues in 2020. In more recent years (2022-2025), the building has demonstrated significant improvement in pest control, with all recent rodent inspections passing, and has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs, with multiple consecutive reports showing zero infestation cases. The most recent building inspections and permits suggest ongoing maintenance and compliance efforts, though there were periods in 2019-2020 with serious construction-related safety concerns that required attention and resolution.
