1275 Sterling Place, Brooklyn, NY 11213

1275 Sterling Place is a 3-story, 4-unit residential building located in Crown Heights, owned by Andrew Weber and constructed in 2004. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, particularly during 2022 when multiple complaints were filed regarding heating and hot water systems, cooking gas, and safety equipment including smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. Inspections conducted by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) in September 2022 resulted in violations for inadequate hot water supply and rodent infestation in apartment 1A, along with safety equipment deficiencies.

While most of these violations were officially closed by October 2022, with some requiring certification of correction, the building continued to experience related service requests and inspections through 2023. The building's recent history shows attention to safety compliance, with multiple violations being addressed, including the installation of proper smoke and carbon monoxide detectors and the posting of required safety notices. A standing water complaint in the basement was investigated by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene in September 2022, though no violations were found.

Of particular note, there have been no reported bedbug infestations in recent years, with the most recent annual filings (2024, 2023, 2022, 2021, and 2020) showing zero infested or eradicated units. While there was an illegal conversion complaint filed in September 2022, the inspection resulted in an inability to gain access, and a debris complaint from 2019 was found to warrant no violations. The building's maintenance record suggests ongoing compliance efforts, though the concentration of complaints and violations in 2022 indicates a period of significant maintenance challenges, particularly regarding essential services such as heat, hot water, and safety systems.
