1770 Sterling Place, Brooklyn, NY 11233

As of July 2025, the three-unit, three-story residential building at 1770 Sterling Place in Crown Heights, owned by Kerry Kramer and constructed in 1992, has experienced two notable incidents in recent years that warrant attention. Most recently, in April 2024, the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene conducted an inspection in response to a rat sighting complaint that resulted in identified violations requiring follow-up inspections.

This rodent-related issue is particularly concerning given its potential impact on resident health and safety. Prior to this, in January 2023, there was a documented problem with the building's boiler system, which was reported as defective or inoperative.

This complaint, which originated from the Department of Buildings, led to an inspection that resulted in an "Oath Violation" being served on January 31, 2023, suggesting official enforcement action was required to address the heating system issue. While the building's age is relatively modern for New York City standards, these two maintenance-related incidents over the past two years indicate some ongoing challenges with building systems and sanitation conditions.
