810 Sterling Place, Brooklyn, NY 11216

The two-family house at 810 Sterling Place in Crown Heights, owned by Christina Bobbsemple, has undergone significant developments since its construction in 1899. The property experienced notable infrastructure issues in late 2019, including repeated complaints about heat and hot water outages affecting the entire building as well as individual units, water supply problems, and cooking gas concerns, all of which were classified as emergencies. These issues led to the issuance of Class B and C Housing Maintenance Code violations in 2019 regarding heating system access, electrical service, and various plumbing matters.

More recently, from 2023 through 2025, the building has been the subject of multiple Department of Buildings (DOB) activities, particularly related to construction work. Several construction safety compliance violations were issued in early 2024, including a partial stop work order, though subsequent inspections in 2025 showed no violations. The property has also faced several Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations from 2023-2024 regarding construction practices and safety concerns, including active penalties related to missing protective equipment during construction work.

Inspection records show the building has passed rodent inspections in 2023 and 2024, though there was one instance of rat activity noted in 2018. The property is currently undergoing active construction or renovation work, as evidenced by multiple recent permit issuances throughout 2022-2025, with the most recent being issued in June 2025. The building has a documented history of maintenance and safety issues, particularly in 2019, but has generally shown compliance with regulatory inspections since then. The property appears to be actively managed, with recent permits indicating ongoing improvements or renovations, though there have been recurring issues with construction compliance as noted in multiple violations.
