1262 Sterling Place, Brooklyn, NY 11213

1262 Sterling Place is a three-story, two-family residential building located in Crown Heights, built in 1899 and currently owned by Mojdeh Levy-haim. The building has experienced several significant events over the past six years, with the most notable being construction activity between 2019-2022 that generated multiple complaints and violations. Between 2019 and 2021, there were multiple cases of work being performed without proper permits, resulting in several Environmental Control Board violations related to construction safety and compliance.

These violations, though resolved without penalties, included issues with construction fencing, structural work, and failure to comply with Commissioner’s orders. The Department of Buildings issued multiple permits between 2019 and 2022 for various construction work, including plumbing (PL) and alteration (AL) work, with the most recent permit issued in May 2022. The building has also experienced some maintenance and health-related issues, most notably a rodent complaint filed in January 2020, though inspections conducted in June 2020 and by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene found no violations or evidence of an ongoing rodent problem.

The property has received multiple inspections for various complaints between 2020-2022, with most inspections resulting in no violations being found. A stop work order was fully rescinded in July 2021, and while there were multiple compliance-related issues during 2021-2022, these were ultimately resolved. The most recent recorded activity is from May 2022 with the issuance of a plumbing permit, and there have been no major complaints or violations recorded in the past two years (as of May 2023).
