516 Sterling Place, Brooklyn, NY 11238

The 4-story, 8-unit brownstone at 516 Sterling Place in Crown Heights, built in 1915, has experienced several notable events over the past few years, primarily related to electrical systems and compliance matters. Most recently, between May 2023 and January 2024, there was a complaint about inadequate lighting that prompted inspections by both HPD and DOB, though no violations were found in either case.

The building has faced recurring issues regarding its bedbug reporting compliance, receiving violations in 2021, 2022, and 2023 for failing to file the required annual reports, though subsequent filings from 2022-2024 show no actual infestations were reported in any of the three most recent reporting periods. The property has maintained good standing with rodent inspections, passing each of the three annual checks conducted in 2023, 2024, and 2025.

A separate complaint was submitted in May 2023 regarding parking lot lights shining onto the building, but this was also closed with no violations found. While the building has shown compliance with various housing maintenance requirements in recent years, the recurring electrical issues and bedbug reporting violations suggest some ongoing challenges with building systems and administrative compliance. However, it's worth noting that no actual bedbug infestations have been documented in the past three reporting periods.
