783 Sterling Place, Brooklyn, NY 11216
783 Sterling Place is a 6-unit, 3-story residential building constructed in 1931 in Crown Heights, currently owned by Cathy Sam. The property has experienced recurring pest and safety issues over recent years, with particular concern around rodent activity.
Most recently, inspections in 2025 and 2024 revealed rat activity, following a pattern of similar findings in previous years, including 2024 and 2023. The building's maintenance history shows consistent issues with regulatory compliance, particularly regarding annual requirements - three active violations are noted for failure to file external low-pressure inspections (2018 and 2022) and boiler inspection (2017). While bedbug reporting appears to show no infestations from 2022-2023 according to the most recent filing in May 2024, the building has accumulated multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations requiring annual bedbug report filings between 2021 and 2024.
Historical records show previous concerns including a rat sighting in 2019 requiring DOHMH intervention and a fire escape safety complaint in 2018 which was inspected by HPD without resulting violations. The building's inspection pattern reveals a mix of compliance and failed inspections, particularly noting periods of rat activity requiring further inspection. While some infrastructure systems seem to pass regular inspections, the pattern of violations and pest activity suggests ongoing maintenance challenges that have persisted over multiple years, with the most pressing current concerns centering on rodent management and compliance with inspection reporting requirements.
