Augrented Insights Report for 1477 Sterling Place

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 1477 Sterling Place in Crown Heights, owned by David Berg and constructed in 1901, has experienced several significant events in recent years, most notably a fire incident in 2024 that caused considerable damage throughout the premises, affecting utilities and the sprinkler system, and leading to two active violations regarding structure non-compliance and unauthorized access. The building has a concerning pattern of maintenance issues, with multiple HPD complaints in 2024 (including electrical problems, plumbing issues, and a gas range concern) that inspectors were unable to access for verification.

Recent health inspections have revealed rodent-related violations, though a subsequent April 2025 inspection passed. The property has faced various challenges over the past few years, including construction enforcement actions, site safety concerns, and multiple Department of Buildings complaints regarding illegal conversions and building stability. An August 2024 inspection resulted in a Partial Vacate Order being served.

Despite these issues, the building has maintained a consistent record of bedbug prevention measures, with all recent reports showing zero infested units. The property has also shown some compliance with housing maintenance codes, though several violations remain open as of 2025, including fire safety concerns related to a damaged ladder and skylight. The building's maintenance history reveals periodic issues with basic systems and infrastructure, including lighting, plumbing, and pest control, though many recent complaints have been closed without inspection access or proper resolution verification.
