1748 Sterling Place, Brooklyn, NY 11233

1748 Sterling Place is a four-story, 8-unit residential tenement building located in Crown Heights, built in 1910 and currently owned by Christopher Bramwell. The property has experienced several recurring maintenance issues, with the most recent concerns centered around heat and hot water systems. In May 2025, two emergency complaints were filed regarding building-wide heat and hot water problems, though one was marked as a duplicate of an already reported issue.

Additionally, there are currently two open complaints from May 2025 regarding unsanitary conditions in the garbage/recycling storage area, and a closed complaint from the same period regarding missing signage. The building's history reveals persistent maintenance challenges, particularly during late 2024 when multiple complaints were filed regarding various issues including plumbing, appliance problems, and mold. A comprehensive inspection on December 10, 2024, resulted in one Class C violation for rodent infestation in the front area way, though past inspections from 2013 had previously shown no rodent issues.

The building has demonstrated significant safety code improvement needs, particularly in January 2023 when multiple violations were recorded in Apartment 8 related to missing window guards, non-functional smoke detectors, and missing carbon monoxide detection devices. Earlier violations from July 2022 in Apartment 3 concerned plumbing issues, mold, and lack of hot water. The property appears to have maintained a successful track record regarding bedbug management, with no reported infestations or eradications recorded in the official reports from 2019 through 2025. While some historical violations have shown closure, recent complaints suggest ongoing maintenance challenges that may affect resident comfort and safety.
