252 Dean Street, Brooklyn, NY 11217
The 3-story, 4-unit residential building at 252 Dean Street in Boerum Hill, built in 1920 and currently owned by Diana Son, has experienced several notable events over the past decade. Most concerning is an open Housing Maintenance Code violation from April 2021 related to the failure to file the required annual bedbug report with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).
The building has a documented history of rodent issues, with rat activity recorded in October 2024 and September 2012, though both instances were followed by successful Compliance inspections indicating resolution of the problem. A recent Department of Buildings complaint from May 2023 regarding an illegal advertising sign was investigated and determined to have no warrantable violation.
The property's most recent rodent inspection in December 2024 passed, suggesting improvements in pest control measures. The combination of past rodent issues, bedbug reporting non-compliance, and the age of the building (over 100 years old) suggests that maintenance of basic living conditions has been a recurring challenge, though recent inspections indicate some progress in pest management.
