1616 Sterling Place, Brooklyn, NY 11233
The 4-unit, 3-story tenement building at 1616 Sterling Place in Crown Heights, owned by 654 East 156 LLC, has experienced several significant maintenance issues since 2020, with the most pressing concerns being repeated heating and hot water problems. Between January and February 2022, there were three emergency heat/hot water complaints, two of which resulted in HPD's inability to gain access to inspect the conditions. A similar heating issue was reported in April 2020, which did lead to violations being issued.
In mid-2020, the building faced sanitary concerns, including complaints about mold and sewage, though no violations were recorded following HPD inspections of these issues. The building's violation history shows recurring administrative requirements not being met, with three separate instances in 2022-2024 regarding failure to file annual bedbug reports, each classified as Class A violations. Physical safety issues have also been documented, including a February 2022 violation for a loose railing at the first-story public hall stairs.
In terms of fire safety, a 2020 violation was issued for a defective smoke detector in Apartment 1. More recently, the building has maintained an active rodent control program, with inspections showing some rat activity in 2017 as well as bait applications, though recent inspections have passed. The most recent bedbug reporting for the 2023-2024 period shows no infestations, with similar reports from 2021-2022 and 2022-2023 indicating no infestations during those periods, suggesting effective pest management in recent years.
