834 Sterling Place, Brooklyn, NY 11216

834 Sterling Place, located in Crown Heights and owned by Arya Ponto, is a 6-story, 54-unit residential building constructed in 2012. The property has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues over the years. Most recently, in 2022, the building received violations for failing to maintain energy efficiency records and display requirements, and there was an important safety violation regarding loose metal copings on exterior walls that required immediate attention.

While there have been occasional heating system complaints (as in December 2020), investigations have typically found no major violations, and the building has maintained a relative stability in recent years. Rodent control appears to be an ongoing concern, with rat activity reported in 2018, 2012, and most recently in 2023 before passing inspections in 2024. Two investigations regarding illegal activity and hotel rooms in 2019-2020 came up with no actionable violations.

The building's management has generally responded to issues as they arise, with several permits issued in 2019 for unspecified work, and it has maintained an active record of compliance inspections. Notably, the property has sustained a commendable record regarding bedbug infestations, with all eight annual reports from 2019-2024 showing zero infested units. The building's maintenance record shows a mixed performance: while it has passed most rodent inspections and maintained proper reporting of bedbug incidents, there are ongoing concerns about resolution of building violations, particularly regarding energy efficiency compliance which remains active as of the most recent data, and historical heating system issues.
