1719 Sterling Place, Brooklyn, NY 11233

1719 Sterling Place is a 16-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement building constructed in 1910 and currently owned by S-five Properties LLC. The building has experienced recurring pest issues, with the most recent reports in late 2024 through early 2025 showing unsanitary conditions related to pests, though these inspections were unable to be completed by HPD. The property has also faced various maintenance challenges in recent years, including multiple appliance-related complaints in 2025 (for refrigerator and electric/gas range issues), an open paint/plaster wall issue, and flooring concerns, all logged in June 2025.

Earlier maintenance history shows heat and hot water issues were reported in 2021 and 2018, though these were subsequently resolved according to tenant reports. The building's violation history includes a 2021 Housing Maintenance Code violation related to refuse accumulation in the front yard, which was certified as corrected. In 2019, an elevator inspection violation was issued but dismissed on jurisdictional grounds.

On a positive note, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations since 2019, with all annual reports showing zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units. The property also passed a rodent inspection in January 2021. While the building has experienced various maintenance issues over the years, the absence of bedbug and rodent infestations in recent inspections is noteworthy, though the persistent pest and appliance issues reported in 2025 warrant attention.
