628 Sterling Place, Brooklyn, NY 11238
628 Sterling Place is a 3-story, 6-unit residential tenement building located in Crown Heights, built in 1905 and currently owned by Laurie Kefalidis. The building has experienced recurring heating and hot water issues, with the most recent emergency complaint filed in January 2024 and an earlier cluster of similar complaints in January 2019. During the 2019 incidents, multiple housing maintenance code violations were issued related to window frame problems in apartment 1A.
The building's most recent rodent inspection in June 2025 noted rat activity, though a May 2024 inspection showed passed results. The property has maintained an active bedbug reporting record from 2019 through 2024, with most recent filings showing zero infested units, though one infestation was reported and subsequently eradicated in 2019. The building's violation history shows a mix of resolved and recurring issues, with the 2019 incidents resulting in several violations under the Housing Maintenance Code, including window repair requirements and a violation related to gas leak notification procedures in common areas.
Inspection records indicate a pattern of heating system reliability concerns, with both entire building and apartment-specific heating complaints being filed. While the building has passed several important inspections, including most recent rodent inspections, the recurring nature of heating system problems and periodic maintenance issues suggest ongoing infrastructure challenges. The property has maintained compliance with NYC bedbug reporting requirements since 2019, with consistent documentation showing efforts to monitor and address pest-related concerns.
