960 Sterling Place, Brooklyn, NY 11213

960 Sterling Place is a 6-story, 79-unit Class A apartment building built in 1938 located in Crown Heights, currently managed by Michael Offerman. The building has experienced recurring infrastructure issues in recent years, with multiple complaints in 2025 alone regarding heat/hot water (entire building) and water leaks. Throughout 2024, there were several concerning incidents, including indoor air quality complaints involving dust from construction and chemical vapors, and multiple plumbing-related issues.

Apartment 3F has documented violations including pest infestations (roaches and mice), plumbing problems, and issues with paint/plaster that were certified as corrected between late 2024 and early 2025. The building has also undergone periodic bedbug infestations, with the most recent reports in 2024 showing 5 affected units, though all were reportedly eradicated. While there were two building shaking/vibrating complaints in early 2022, inspections found no violations at that time.

The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of addressing various infrastructure and safety issues, with multiple emergency and non-emergency complaints being filed and resolved through HPD and DOHMH. Recent inspection results indicate passing rodent inspections in 2023 and 2024, though there was some rat activity noted in a 2009 inspection. The property has had two recent work permits issued in 2019 and 2020, suggesting ongoing maintenance and improvement efforts. Despite the various maintenance issues documented, the property owner has generally responded to complaints and worked to achieve compliance with NYC housing codes, as evidenced by the resolution of most complaints and violations through proper channels.
