1487 Sterling Place, Brooklyn, NY 11213
The 2-family house at 1487 Sterling Place in Crown Heights, owned by Mordechai Appelbaum, has experienced a few significant maintenance issues since 2021, with the most recent being a heat and hot water emergency affecting the entire building in February 2025.
While this issue was temporarily resolved during HPD's inspection, it marks the most pressing recent concern. Prior to this, in August 2021, the building experienced multiple maintenance issues including unsanitary mold conditions and a slow water leak, though no violations were issued following HPD's inspections of these problems.
In terms of pest management, the property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in the past three reporting periods from 2022 through 2024. The building, constructed in 1901 and having two stories, contains six units and has been generally compliant with housing maintenance codes, though the recent heating system issue in early 2025 represents the most significant recent maintenance concern.
