Augrented Insights Report for 296 Sterling Place

296 Sterling Place is a 6-story, 22-unit New Law Tenement built in 1910 in Prospect Heights, currently managed by 296 Sterling Arms Owners Corp. The building has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, most notably between 2021 and 2022 when multiple violations were recorded, particularly affecting Apartment 14. These violations included problems with carbon monoxide and smoke detectors, water leaks, plaster and paint deficiencies, and plumbing issues in various bathrooms.

The building underwent several construction-related incidents in 2021-2022, including multiple complaints regarding structural stability and building shaking, though these issues were subsequently resolved. Recent building history shows a pattern of rodent-related concerns, with multiple complaints between 2021 and 2022, though subsequent inspections have consistently passed. The building currently has active violations regarding failure to file required inspections from 2017-2018, specifically for external low pressure inspections and boiler inspections. However, there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the last six years, and recent rodent inspections from 2023-2025 have all passed.

The property has undergone various repairs and improvements, with permits issued in 2022 for unspecified work, and a general trend towards resolving historical maintenance issues, as evidenced by the closure of many previous violations. The most recent inspections for 2023 and 2024 have shown consistent compliance with health and safety regulations, suggesting an improvement in building maintenance standards. However, the presence of active violations regarding past inspection filings indicates some ongoing regulatory compliance issues. While no recent safety incidents have been reported, the building's history of structural concerns and maintenance violations warrants attention to ensure continued resident safety and comfort.
