104 Dean Street, Brooklyn, NY 11201

The 7-unit, 3-story tenement building at 104 Dean Street in Boerum Hill, built in 1861 and owned by Dean Terrace Housing Corp, has experienced several maintenance and pest-related challenges over the past few years. Most notably, between 2021 and 2024, the building received four separate violations related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required under the Housing Maintenance Code, though recent reports from 2023-2024 indicate no current infestations.

The building has also dealt with multiple pest-related issues, including a sewage unsanitary condition reported in late 2021 (investigated but with no violations found) and a rodent-related complaint in 2019, though a subsequent inspection that same year passed. The building's Department of Buildings records from 2019 show several inspection attempts that resulted in "Inspector Unable To Gain Access" responses, though one inspection in February 2019 did not find any violations. During 2019-2020, multiple permits were issued for work on the property, including plumbing and exterior work.

Most recently, the building's pest control situation appears to have stabilized, with all three bedbug reports from 2021-2024 indicating zero infested units. Looking back further, records from 2011 documented rat activity, though this has not been recorded in more recent inspections. The property's maintenance record shows a pattern of addressing regulatory requirements, though with occasional delays or lapses resulting in violations, particularly regarding the bedbug reporting requirement.
