Questions about this building

Does 189 Sterling Place, Brooklyn have open violations?

Yes. 189 Sterling Place, Brooklyn had 22 open violations on October 10, 2026: 22 from HPD. 12 are Class C, the class HPD treats as immediately hazardous. The oldest open HPD violation has been open 9 years, since March 3, 2017.

Is 189 Sterling Place, Brooklyn getting better or worse?

Open violations are sitting, with little movement either way. 12 open Class C, with 0 certifications filed and 6 new Class C in the last 180 days, too few to call a direction. That window ends October 10, 2026. It compares certifications filed with new Class C violations, and it describes what happened, not what anyone intends.

When were certifications filed on Class C violations at 189 Sterling Place, Brooklyn?

Since October 12, 2023, a certification was filed on 1 Class C violation, by the original certify-by date. A certification is the filing, dated when it was made, not HPD's acceptance of it. It is compared with the original certify-by date on the notice. A granted postponement moves that date and the city's data keeps only the first, so a certification counted after it may still have met a postponed date.

Does 189 Sterling Place, Brooklyn have active DOB violations?

Yes. 3 active DOB violations, most of them for low-pressure boilers. The newest was issued November 14, 2025. The Department of Buildings writes these separately from HPD's housing violations, for things like boilers, elevators, facades, construction and energy filings. Each one stays active until DOB resolves or dismisses it.

Has 189 Sterling Place, Brooklyn been in housing court?

Yes. 2 housing court cases here since 2017, most of them tenant actions. HPD takes buildings to housing court to get violations fixed and heat and hot water restored, and it joins tenants' own repair cases, called tenant actions. A case stays open until the court closes it.

When did 189 Sterling Place, Brooklyn last file its bedbug report?

On May 7, 2026, for the year to October 31, 2025. HPD asks the owner of every building with 3 or more apartments for this report once a year, covering November 1 to October 31, including buildings that had no bedbugs.

Is 189 Sterling Place, Brooklyn rent stabilized?

The building has rent-stabilized apartments on its 2024 registration. That comes from the Rent Guidelines Board's list of buildings with at least one stabilized apartment registered that year. Buildings that registered late are left off, and a 421-a or J-51 building can leave stabilization when its tax benefit ends. A particular apartment's status is for NYS HCR to say.

When was 189 Sterling Place, Brooklyn built?

The city's record gives 1903 as the year 189 Sterling Place, Brooklyn was built, in the Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file. The same file classes it as a walk-up building with 4 floors.

How many apartments does 189 Sterling Place, Brooklyn have?

The Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file lists 24 residential units at 189 Sterling Place, Brooklyn. The count is for the whole tax lot.

Where do these numbers come from?

From New York City's own data: HPD housing violations and OATH/ECB hearing results, read whole rather than sampled. It also draws on DOB violations, HPD's housing court cases, the Rent Guidelines Board's stabilized-building lists, HPD's annual bedbug reports, the city's PLUTO tax-lot file and DOF's property sales records. This page is current through October 10, 2026. The city's data changes daily, so a violation certified after that can still show as open here; the city's own page for this building is linked above.

Sources. HPD housing violations and OATH/ECB hearing results, plus DOB violations, HPD's housing court cases, the Rent Guidelines Board's stabilized-building lists, HPD's annual bedbug reports, the city's PLUTO tax-lot file and DOF's property sales records. Counts cover HPD Class B and C violations from the last 3 years that HPD still shows open, and OATH/ECB summonses from the same 3 years that the city still shows active. The city's own pages can show more, never fewer.
