1310 Sterling Place, Brooklyn, NY 11213

1310 Sterling Place is a 6-unit, 3-story New Law Tenement building located in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, constructed in 1907 and currently owned by Hartley Thomas. The property has multiple ongoing violations that significantly impact safety and maintenance standards.

Most notably, there are persistent open violations regarding unfiled annual bedbug reports for the years 2021 to 2024, which represent serious non-compliance with housing maintenance code requirements. The building also has several active Department of Buildings violations related to unfiled external low-pressure inspections, with the most recent being issued in September 2024, covering multiple years from 2018 through 2023. The building's history shows a pattern of safety-related issues, particularly concerning emergency egress and door conditions.

In 2019, an open Class B violation was recorded regarding defective fire escape window bars in Apartment 1L, while multiple Class C violations from 2018 involved defective doors across different apartments (2L, 2R, and 3R) that required replacement to ensure proper secondary egress. Additional maintenance concerns were documented in 2019, including a Class B violation for defective plastered surfaces and paint in an apartment ceiling. On a positive note, the building has passed rodent inspections in 2017 and 2018, though these inspections are now several years old and may not accurately reflect current conditions.
