401 Sterling Place, Brooklyn

Four-unit Prospect Heights rental where building logs carry zero open violations while block-level curb and commercial air quality complaints cluster nearby.

Four-unit Prospect Heights rental property acquired by 401 Sterling LLC for $1,900,000 in February 2019. While the building's direct housing code record shows zero open violations, DOB violation data is unverified, and block-level activity around the corner remains active. Three things to know:

Air quality and food establishment odor calls cluster within three blocks. 15 air quality calls logged within three blocks over the past year include 8 food establishment odor reports and 7 indoor air quality issues. Commercial kitchen venting and street-level exhaust tend to travel upward, making riser and floor placement a key check.

Curb space within three blocks is heavily double-parked. 358 illegal parking calls were logged within three blocks over the last 12 months, driven by 123 blocked bike lanes and 87 blocked hydrants. The activity reflects fast turnover and short-term delivery stops rather than long-term vehicle storage.

Continuous management leadership across ownership transfers. 401 Sterling LLC bought the building in February 2019 for $1,900,000, with head officer Stuart Van Leenen linked to property filings both before and after the transaction.

Quieter signals on this building and the blocks around it:

• 153 unsanitary condition calls within three blocks, primarily pests and mold on surrounding properties
• 125 street noise calls within three blocks over the last year, mostly loud music and parties
• 63 helicopter noise calls logged within three blocks in the past 12 months
