Augrented Insights Report for 442 Sterling Place

This 4-story, 20-unit tenement building at 442 Sterling Place in Prospect Heights, owned by Rony Kravel, has exhibited significant maintenance challenges over the past two years (2023-2025) since recent ownership changes. The property has ongoing rat infestation issues, with multiple inspections in 2023-2025 confirming rodent activity. Recent maintenance records from 2024-2025 show persistent plumbing problems, including multiple toilet issues and water leaks, with the most recent complaints in January 2025 resulting in violations.

The building has also experienced recurring problems with ceiling and wall conditions, including plaster and paint issues, with violations issued in late 2024 and early 2025. Recent regulatory actions show several active ECB (Environmental Control Board) violations, including concerns about exposed electrical wiring in Apartment 3 (2024), obstructed egress paths (2023), and roof leakage affecting Apartment 16 (2023). There are also multiple open violations related to water leaks, mold, and building maintenance.

The building's heating system has been a recurring concern, with violations regarding maintenance notifications and filing requirements between 2021-2023. While the property has maintained a clean record for bedbugs in recent years, the persistent rodent activity and multiple open violations suggest ongoing maintenance challenges require monitoring. The property has experienced some challenges with the Housing Maintenance Code, with multiple violations issued in 2024 including water leaks, mold, and maintenance issues in various apartments, though some of these violations were later marked as closed after inspections.
