939 Sterling Place, Brooklyn, NY 11216
The four-story, 16-unit tenement building at 939 Sterling Place in Crown Heights, currently owned by Eros Realty LLC III, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, there have been multiple complaints regarding heat and hot water outages affecting the entire building, with incidents documented in January 2025 and February 2022, though in both cases, heat and hot water were reportedly restored before inspections were completed.
The building has also faced ongoing sanitation challenges, particularly regarding garbage/recycling storage as evidenced by a 2025 HPD complaint, and has shown recurring rodent activity, with the most recent inspections in April 2025 indicating rat presence. The property has a documented history of various maintenance issues that have required attention. In 2020, a slow water leak was reported in Apartment C3, which resulted in Housing Maintenance Code violations that were not certified until February 2021.
Other notable violations include an open violation from 2018 regarding missing or defective window guards in Apartment A3, and multiple issues documented in 2018 involving rodent problems, peeling paint, and various repairs needed in Apartment A3. The building has consistently passed rodent inspections from 2021 through 2024, with the exception of recent April 2025 inspections showing rat activity. Fortunately, the building has maintained a clean record concerning bedbug infestations, with all required annual filings from 2020 through 2024 reporting zero infested units.
