1674 Sterling Place, Brooklyn, NY 11233

The 4-unit, 2-story building at 1674 Sterling Place in Crown Heights, owned by Pelrique Price and constructed in 1924, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years. Most notably, there have been recurring heat and hot water reliability problems, with complaints filed in both March 2023 and November 2021, though these were eventually resolved.

The building's systems have shown persistent challenges, particularly in early 2023, when multiple emergency complaints were filed regarding plumbing issues (including a toilet problem and heavy water leak), unsanitary conditions including mold, and problems with an electric/gas range. The property also underwent an April 2023 inspection that revealed several maintenance violations, including issues with plaster surfaces, ceiling conditions, and a mouse infestation in apartment 2F, though these were subsequently addressed and marked as closed. The building's safety features have required attention, with a broken or missing window guard reported and addressed in October 2022, and violations related to self-closing doors noted during the 2023 inspection.

Recent records show consistently good pest management, with the building reporting zero instances of bedbugs between 2020 and 2025, and the most recent rodent inspection in March 2017 passed. A Certificate of Occupancy-related complaint from January 2021 was recorded, but the inspector was unable to gain access for verification. While the building has faced various maintenance challenges, recent inspections and bedbug reports indicate improved conditions, with no major pest issues reported in the past several years.
