1283 Sterling Place, Brooklyn, NY 11213

The two-story, 4-unit building at 1283 Sterling Place in Crown Heights, constructed in 2004, has experienced numerous maintenance issues over the past three years, with the most significant problems concentrated in Apartment 2A. Between 2023 and 2024, multiple complaints were filed regarding plumbing issues (including a toilet problem in May 2024), electrical problems (including ventilation system issues in October 2023), and various general maintenance concerns. In 2024, violations were documented for paint/plaster issues, particularly in walls and ceilings, and multiple plumbing violations including problems with the wash basin, toilet, and water supply.

Of particular concern are the currently open violations from late 2024 regarding non-functioning smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in Apartment 2A, which pose safety risks to residents. The building has a history of infrastructure challenges, including a documented roof leak affecting the kitchen in Apartment 2A and issues with the mailbox system. While the property management has generally addressed emergency issues promptly, as evidenced by the relatively quick resolution of several complaints, there remains an ongoing pattern of maintenance challenges.

Notably, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with all annual reports from 2020 through the present showing zero cases. However, there was a rodent activity report filed in late 2022, which suggests some potential concerns about building maintenance and environmental conditions. The building's most recent major violation corresponded to an illegal conversion complaint from 2022, though access was denied for inspection in this case.
