1668 Sterling Place, Brooklyn, NY 11233

The two-story, four-unit residential building at 1668 Sterling Place in Crown Heights, owned by Arthur Pascal and constructed in 1924, is currently facing multiple unresolved violations following an August 2024 inspection. These violations include several significant safety concerns such as a leaking roof requiring repair (Class B violation), the need to post important safety notices regarding smoke detector requirements and gas leak procedures (Class A violations), and various administrative violations related to signage and maintenance requirements.

The building had a documented history of heating and hot water issues during late 2021 through early 2022, with multiple complaints and emergency maintenance requests concentrated in the period from November 2021 to January 2022, though inspections during this period generally found no violations. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of heating system challenges, with eight service requests specifically related to heat/hot water issues between November 2021 and January 2022.

Additional emergency repairs were required in late 2021 related to plumbing (both radiator and water supply issues) and door/window problems. While an initial rodent inspection in March 2017 passed, the building's most recent inspection records from 2024 indicate numerous open violations that require attention. These include requirements to maintain proper notices in multiple languages, repair specific building elements, and ensure proper safety signage is posted, though one previously-cited violation regarding a non-self-closing door was noted as closed.
