1460 Sterling Place, Brooklyn, NY 11213

1460 Sterling Place, a 4-story, 35-unit New Law Tenement built in 1924 and currently owned by Zohov Realty, has experienced persistent maintenance issues in recent years, particularly in 2025. The building has documented multiple water-related problems, with four water leak complaints and various associated violations between April and June 2025, including both heavy and slow leaks affecting ceilings and walls in multiple apartments. The property has also struggled with pest control issues, evidenced by multiple rat activity inspections between 2015 and 2024, as well as urgent complaints regarding mold in June 2025.

Significant violations remain open as of the latest filings, including multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations from November 2024 affecting apartments 5B and 5C, which require repairs to address water leaks and plastered surface issues. The building has active Department of Buildings violations related to failure to file required external low-pressure inspections between 2019 and 2023, and there is an unresolved case from 2018 regarding unauthorized construction creating an extra bedroom in apartment 4C. The property has exhibited recurring issues with various systems and maintenance requirements, as evidenced by multiple Housing Maintenance Code complaints and violations.

Recent maintenance requests from June 2025 include concerns about plumbing (bathtub/shower), electrical systems, and paint/plaster conditions. Past records show similar patterns, with violations for energy efficiency reporting requirements established between 2020 and 2021, though some of these were dismissed following payment of associated fines. The building's management seems to be actively addressing complaints as they arise, with most recent issues categorized as "Closed" following Department of Housing Preservation and Development inspections, though many have resulted in violations requiring further action.
