1561 Sterling Place, Brooklyn, NY 11213

1561 Sterling Place is a 12-unit, 4-story residential building owned by Park Sterling LLC and constructed in 1999. The property has experienced several significant maintenance and service issues in recent years, with the most pressing concerns occurring in early 2023 when multiple heat and hot water-related complaints were filed for the entire building, resulting in violations being issued. A1 apartment had specific issues with inadequate heat and hot water, and 3B apartment experienced various problems including electrical outlet safety concerns, paint issues, and bathroom maintenance needs - all of which led to multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations in early 2023.

The building has a documented history of heat and hot water problems, with similar complaints filed in January-February 2022 also requiring inspections. The property has maintained a regular bedbug reporting schedule since late 2019, consistently showing zero infested units in recent filings, with the last reported infestation occurring in 2018. The building underwent necessary repairs and addressed various maintenance issues as evidenced by the closure of multiple violations and complaints.

Historical records show prior concerns regarding building security (2020 violation for entrance door locking device) and fire escape access (2020 violation for obstructed fire escape). Regular rodent inspections from 2016 to 2017 show passing results, indicating no rodent issues during that period. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing attention to various system and maintenance requirements, though the recurring heat and hot water issues remain the most significant pattern in recent years.
