Augrented Insights Report for 1439 Sterling Place

The two-family house at 1439 Sterling Place in Crown Heights, owned by David Benzakarya, has a documented history of maintenance issues primarily affecting the second-floor apartment (2F). Most recently, in March 2025, the building experienced emergency plumbing issues in the form of heavy water leaks and sink problems, which were addressed within days. In the same year, there was an inspection for rodent issues in June 2025, though no violations were found, and a subsequent rodent inspection in July 2025 resulted in a "Passed" status.

The building has a pattern of water-related problems, as evidenced by a 2018 violation for bathroom ceiling leaks in apartment 2F, though this was certified as corrected by March 2018. Earlier violations from 2018, while mostly resolved, included multiple issues in apartment 2F such as broken plaster surfaces, a water leak in the bathroom, and problems with carbon monoxide detectors. There were also concerns about the heating system that remained open as of early 2018.

The building experienced an emergency heat/hot water issue affecting the entire building in December 2018. However, it is noteworthy that the property has maintained a clean record with respect to bedbugs, with all annual filings from 2021 through 2024 showing zero infested units. The most recent complaints regarding storefront signage and certificate of occupancy in 2018-2019 were found to be unsubstantiated or resulted in no violations.
