683 Sterling Place, Brooklyn, NY 11216

683 Sterling Place, a 3-story, 6-unit old law tenement built in 1931 in Crown Heights, is currently owned by Sterling Lofts LLC. The building has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over the past years, with the most significant concerns occurring between late 2021 and early 2022, including problems with lighting, refrigeration, and mold across multiple complaints (some categorized as emergencies). In 2021, there were also incidents of no heat or hot water reported, though tenants indicated these issues were resolved promptly.

More recently, the building has maintained better conditions, with rodent inspections from 2022-2025 showing consistent passing results, and no bedbug infestations reported in any of the five consecutive annual filings from 2020-2024. The property has undergone various repairs and addressed multiple violations over the years. In 2019, several issues were documented in Apartment 3L, including roof leaks and problems with plastered surfaces, which were subsequently addressed.

Notable safety improvements were made in 2019 when the building received violations for failing to post gas leak safety procedures and heating system key information, though these were resolved. The building's emergency maintenance history shows responsiveness to tenant complaints, with most issues being investigated promptly by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development, even if no violations were ultimately issued in some cases. The most recent housing maintenance code violations from 2023-2024 pertain to the failure to file annual bedbug reports, though these were subsequently addressed.
