934 Sterling Place, Brooklyn, NY 11216

934 Sterling Place is a 4-story, 8-unit residential tenement building constructed in 1905, currently owned by Adam Heller. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, particularly notable during winter months, with multiple emergency complaints filed between October 2024 and April 2025, though many were resolved promptly. More recently, in April 2025, there were sanitation-related concerns regarding garbage and recycling storage, which resulted in HPD violations.

The building's maintenance history shows several violations requiring attention, including problems with smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in Apartment 2L (January 2024), ongoing rodent-related issues (with an open violation as of January 2024), and access problems to the heating system (multiple incidents in December 2023 and January 2024). A new electrical wiring violation was issued in March 2025, related to load calculations and GFCI installations in Apartment 3L. The building's inspection record indicates mixed results regarding pest management, with consistent bedbug inspections showing no infestations from 2019 through 2024.

Rodent inspections have varied, with some failures noted in 2017, 2020, and 2024, though most recent inspections in 2024 recorded compliance. The property is required to maintain up-to-date safety features, including fire and carbon monoxide detectors, though there were temporary deficiencies noted in early 2024. While the building has a history of maintenance issues, many violations have been addressed over time, as evidenced by the closure of numerous complaints following inspections. The current status shows an active DOB violation from March 2025 regarding electrical concerns, though many previous violations have been resolved or dismissed.
