1353 Sterling Place, Brooklyn, NY 11213
The 7-unit, 4-story tenement building at 1353 Sterling Place in Crown Heights, owned by David Young and built in 1925, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, particularly concerning heat and hot water systems. Between late 2024 and 2025, there were multiple complaints (both emergency and general) regarding heat and hot water problems affecting the entire building, with some complaints remaining open due to inspection access issues.
The building has also faced persistent pest control challenges, including a documented rodent infestation with repeated inspections showing rat activity in 2024 and 2025, and unsanitary conditions involving pests reported in late 2024. These issues appear to be recurring, as evidenced by multiple service requests for elevator and intercom problems in 2025, which HPD inspectors were unable to verify during their visits. A notable cluster of open violations was documented in September 2024, specifically in apartment 2R, including issues with window guards, pest infestations (roaches and mice), water damage, plaster surfaces, and a mold condition in the bathroom.
The building's history shows a pattern of maintenance challenges, particularly regarding basic services and infrastructure, with multiple instances of unverified complaints due to access issues during inspections. However, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with all recent reports showing zero affected units between 2022 and 2025. The property has also complied with required baiting programs for rat control, though the ongoing inspections suggest that rodent activity remains a concern.
