1597 Sterling Place, Brooklyn, NY 11233

The three-story, four-unit residential building at 1597 Sterling Place in Crown Heights, built in 1924, has experienced recurring administrative issues related to bedbug reporting compliance over the past four years, with open violations recorded in 2024, 2023, and 2022, all citing the property owner's failure to file the required annual bedbug report as mandated by the Housing Maintenance Code. While a bedbug report was filed in July 2021 covering the period from November 2019 to October 2020, this report indicated no infested dwelling units or eradication efforts, though it should be noted that this reporting period precedes the subsequent open violations.

The building experienced one Department of Buildings complaint in 2020 regarding an alleged illegal conversion (complaint number 3758884), though this was ultimately closed in December 2020 when inspectors were unable to gain access during their final attempt. The most significant recent issue facing the property appears to be the pattern of bedbug reporting violations, with no apparent resolution or certification of compliance as of April 2024.

The persistence of these violations over multiple years suggests ongoing challenges with documentation compliance. While the building is classified as a "NEW LAW TENEMENT," presumably under the New York City Housing Maintenance Code regulations, the property has seemingly maintained an absence of actual bedbug infestations based on official reporting, though the open violations indicate ongoing administrative non-compliance rather than confirmed pest issues.
