1511 Sterling Place, Brooklyn, NY 11213

1511 Sterling Place is a 4-story, 20-unit New Law Tenement building located in Crown Heights, built in 1921 and currently owned by Kerry Kramer. The property has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water systems, particularly evident in multiple complaints throughout 2024 and early 2025, several of which were designated as emergencies. There have also been documented problems with water leaks, including at least one instance that resulted in HPD violations in January 2025, and complaints regarding ceiling paint and plaster conditions.

The building faced challenges with rodent sightings in 2024, with inspections resulting in violations found by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. The building's maintenance history shows persistent infrastructure concerns, particularly around heating systems, plumbing, and interior finishes. Three separate incidents related to its boiler system were recorded between 2019-2020, two of which resulted in OATH violations.

Recent complaints in 2025 have been addressed, though many required HPD inspections that did not result in violations, suggesting varied enforcement of housing codes. The property has undergone multiple inspections for scaffold safety between 2023-2025, with at least one instance recorded in late 2024 noting a stop work order that was fully rescinded. Notably, the building had no reported bedbug infestations during the most recent reporting period (2023-2024), with zero units affected or requiring eradication treatments.
