1075 Sterling Place, Brooklyn, NY 11213

The two-family house at 1075 Sterling Place in Crown Heights, owned by Luba Vainer, has experienced multiple recurring issues over the past several years, with the most significant concerns centering around rodent-related problems. In February 2023 alone, there were five documented rodent sightings within a short period, and earlier complaints in October 2022 also noted conditions attracting rodents, with two inspections revealing violations that required follow-up.

The building has a history of maintenance challenges, particularly in 2021-2022, when multiple housing maintenance complaints were filed and addressed, including emergency issues with cooking gas and heat/hot water. Additional maintenance concerns documented in April 2022 encompassed various categories such as electrical lighting, flooring, doors, walls, and plumbing, with all these complaints being closed within approximately two weeks of receipt.

The property has also faced some regulatory scrutiny, with three complaints filed in late 2021 and 2022 regarding illegal activities, including an illegal conversion and concerns about egress safety. Unfortunately, inspections related to these complaints were marked as "Inspector Unable To Gain Access – 2nd Final Attempt." While no violations were ultimately recorded for these complaints, the repeated nature of various maintenance issues and pest problems suggests ongoing challenges with building maintenance and resident comfort. The building's documented history spans from at least 2021 through 2023, with the majority of recent issues occurring within the last two years, particularly focusing on pest control and basic building systems maintenance.
