Augrented Insights Report for 678 Sterling Place

678 Sterling Place is a two-family residential building located in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, constructed in 1899 and currently owned by Alejandro Romero. The property has experienced recurring rodent-related issues over the past several years, with documented rat sightings in 2021 and 2022, though recent inspections in 2023 and 2024 showed improvement, with both passing rodent inspections.

The most recent rat-related incidents occurred in March and April 2022, following which there were no further complaints until the 2023-2024 period, suggesting some level of remediation has taken place. The building has maintained an active record of bedbug reporting compliance between 2022 and 2024, with zero reported infestations during this period. The Department of Buildings shows regular permit activity between 2020 and 2022, with multiple permits issued for plumbing (PL), electrical (EW), and alteration (AL) work.

Notably, there was a complaint filed on July 31, 2023, regarding permit access, though the inspector was unable to gain access during their second final attempt on August 4, 2023. The building's inspection history reveals a pattern of both compliance and violations during rodent inspections, with the most recent inspections showing improved conditions. The property's maintenance records suggest active management, with multiple permits being processed for various types of work, including three permits issued in 2022 alone.
