1757 Sterling Place, Brooklyn, NY 11233

1757 Sterling Place is a 4-story, 32-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Eastern Park LLC. The property has experienced significant maintenance issues in recent months, with multiple emergency service requests filed in June 2025, including complaints about mold, pests, plumbing problems (toilet issues), and persistent water leaks. Of particular concern is a recurring water leak issue categorized as "heavy flow" that remains open as of June 2025.

Earlier in 2025, the building faced several maintenance challenges including unsanitary conditions (mold), wall paint/plaster issues, and problems with appliances (refrigerator). The building has a documented history of violations concentrated in Apartment 1C, discovered during inspections in late 2024. These violations included inadequate heating, defective carbon monoxide and smoke detectors, visible mold conditions, water leak issues, and a pest infestation (roaches and mice). Previous building-wide maintenance issues from 2024-2025 suggest ongoing challenges with building upkeep.

While the property has maintained a pest-free status regarding bedbugs in recent years (2020-2024), the building's history shows mixed results on hygiene and maintenance matters, with some improvements noted but recurring issues persisting. In terms of regulatory compliance, the building was subject to a C violation in December 2024 regarding locked access to the heating system in the cellar, and a B violation concerning a carbon monoxide detector in Apartment 1C that was certified as corrected in January 2025. The property has had periodic inspections for rodent activity, with records from 2010 showing rat activity, though a 2011 inspection passed. An investigation into work without a permit in March 2024 yielded no violations, and there was one ECB violation from 2018 related to failure to comply with a commissioner's order, which was resolved with a penalty of $625.
