1326 Sterling Place, Brooklyn, NY 11213

Located in Crown Heights, 1326 Sterling Place is a six-unit, three-story New Law tenement building constructed in 1907, currently owned by Andrew Weber. The property has experienced ongoing maintenance issues over recent years, with the most pressing concern being a heat and hot water outage affecting the entire building in January 2023, though services were reportedly restored shortly thereafter. There have been multiple water-related problems documented, including both heavy flow and slow leaks in 2019, 2020, and most recently in December 2024.

The building has also faced various maintenance challenges, including pest issues (with a rodent complaint recorded in 2019), window frame problems, and paint/plaster concerns in both ceilings and walls. The building's violation history reveals some concerning patterns, particularly regarding compliance with building inspections. As of June 2023, there is an active violation related to the failure to file the 2018 external low-pressure inspection, and a November 2019 violation remains open for not filing the annual boiler 2017 inspection report.

An inspection in May 2021 resulted in multiple violations specifically regarding Apartment 1L, including issues with the entrance door, window repairs, ceiling plaster and paint, and various safety concerns such as protruding nails in the hallway. On a more positive note, the building has maintained a consistent record of compliance with bedbug reporting requirements over the past five years, with no infestations reported in any filing period since 2020. Additionally, recent inspections in 2018 and 2015 showed passed results for rodent inspections, indicating that while pest complaints have occurred, the building has generally been able to address them when they arise.
