Augrented Insights Report for 215 Sterling Street

215 Sterling Street is a four-story, 40-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1924, currently owned by 215 Sterling LLC. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent months, most notably an ongoing power outage as of June 2025 and a water leak with damp spots reported in February 2025.

Between February and March 2025, the building faced multiple complaints regarding heat and hot water outages affecting the entire building, with some units being inaccessible for inspection. Additional maintenance issues were documented in 2024, including three open violations related to Apartment A33's windows, bathroom tiles, and floor tiles, along with historical violations regarding self-closing doors and carbon monoxide detectors. The building has also faced notable regulatory scrutiny, including multiple Department of Buildings (DOB) violations in 2024 related to unpermitted work and an illegal basement apartment conversion, though some violations were subsequently resolved.

Environmental Control Board violations from July 2024 indicate non-compliance with commissioner's orders regarding illegal occupancy and work without permits, while previous inspections showed concerns about drainage and plumbing installations. The property has maintained a generally pest-free record in recent years, with no bedbug infestations reported between 2022 and 2024, and passed rodent inspections in 2014 and 2015. Various permits were issued between 2019 and 2020 for plumbing and electrical work, though some related to separate issues or violations.
