1188 Sterling Place, Brooklyn, NY 11213
1188 Sterling Place is a 4-story, 12-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1920, currently owned by 1188 Sterling Place Realty Llc and located in Crown Heights. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with three such complaints filed between 2022 and 2025, including two recent incidents in 2024 and early 2025 affecting either the entire building or specific apartments, though these were resolved promptly according to HPD records.
A series of inspections in June 2023 revealed several maintenance concerns, including issues with flooring, windows, pest control, wall conditions, and door functionality, though no violations were issued for these complaints. The building has two active Department of Buildings violations from 2023 and 2024 regarding failure to file required external low-pressure inspections, and historical compliance issues have been documented regarding garbage storage and exterior maintenance. The property has maintained a consistent record of pest control, with no bedbug infestations reported in the past five years (2020-2025), though there have been documented rat activity findings in inspections from 2019-2020.
Recent safety improvements include the certification of two A-class violations in 2023 related to gas leak procedures and vestibule door maintenance. While there have been numerous service requests and complaints logged over the past five years, most issues have been addressed and closed without resulting violations, suggesting regular engagement with housing maintenance requirements. The building's age and history of minor maintenance issues are typical for its age category, with attention to heating system reliability being a particular area of note in recent years.
