Augrented Insights Report for 420 Sterling Place

420 Sterling Place is a converted two-story residential building in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn, owned by Erik Serras. Originally constructed in 1904, this 3-unit property has experienced recurring pest management challenges over recent years, most notably with rodents. The building has undergone multiple inspections and treatments for rodent issues between 2022 and 2025, with the most recent inspection in July 2025 passing without any identified problems.

The Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) found violations related to rodent issues in December 2022, and while there have been periodic bait applications and rat activity detections between 2022 and 2023, the situation seems to have stabilized in more recent inspections. The building has been subject to four consecutive Housing Maintenance Code violations between 2021 and 2024 regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports, though these violations were subsequently closed. The most recent bedbug report filings for 2022-2023 and 2023-2024 show no infested units, with the property maintaining a record of zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units.

There have been three notable complaints regarding potential illegal modifications or use of the property between 2021 and 2024, including reports of illegal work and conversion attempts, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify these claims in two of the instances. A complaint regarding parking lot lights shining on the building in 2024 was ultimately deemed unsubstantiated based on department records. While the property has experienced maintenance compliance challenges in the past, recent inspections suggest improved conditions, particularly regarding rodent management and pest reporting compliance.
