The two-story, four-unit residential building at 1277 Sterling Place in Crown Heights, constructed in 2004 and currently owned by Sterling Apt LLC, has experienced several notable maintenance and safety issues over recent years. Most concerning is an active Environmental Control Board violation from March 2020 regarding inadequate maintenance of the cellar area, specifically citing missing sections of the ceiling and an unsecured electrical panel. In April 2024, two significant violations were documented: one for an illegally fastened roof access hatch in the public hall, and another for an accumulation of hazardous items including bicycles, shopping carts, and a BBQ grill near the bulkhead ladder on the second story, though both of these violations were subsequently closed.
The building has a recurring history of fire escape safety concerns, with the most recent complaint recorded in July 2023, which was inspected by HPD with no violations issued. There have been two health department investigations regarding a daycare facility in the building, one in April 2021 and another in June 2022, though the specific nature of these complaints was not detailed in the records. Despite these various issues, it's worth noting that the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs, with all five annual reports from 2019-2024 showing zero cases of infestation or eradication needs. A complaint regarding possible illegal conversion dating back to September 2020 resulted in three inspection attempts, but inspectors were unable to gain access to verify the claims.
