Augrented Insights Report for 791 Sterling Place

791 Sterling Place is a 5-story, 15-unit residential building located in Crown Heights, constructed in 1899 and currently owned by Yossel Lichtman. The building has experienced recurring issues with unsanitary conditions related to garbage and recycling storage, with two complaints in 2024 alone, though HPD inspections found no violations in one case and could not gain access in another.

Between 2018-2021, there were multiple complaints regarding heat and hot water issues, which were largely resolved without violations being issued. The building underwent some significant construction activity in 2020, during which several safety violations were recorded, including improper construction practices and hazardous electrical work that resulted in penalties totaling $7,100. There were also instances of rodent activity noted in recent inspections, with the most recent rat activity reports occurring in December 2024 and June 2025.

The building has maintained a clean bedbug record over the past five reporting periods, with zero infested units reported. The property has undergone various maintenance and safety inspections, with notable violations in 2019 including issues with window guards, smoke detectors, and carbon monoxide detectors in apartment 2L, though these were subsequently addressed and closed. Recent inspections have shown typical compliance issues common to older buildings, though most violations have been addressed promptly.
