334 Dean Street, Brooklyn, NY 11217

334 Dean Street is a 4-story, 12-unit apartment building located in Boerum Hill and owned by Lawrence Lomagno. Built in 1920, the property has experienced several maintenance and safety-related issues in recent years. Most notably, in 2022, there was an incident involving loss of heat and hot water, though these services were reportedly restored within a day.

The building has faced multiple violations regarding fire safety, with two separate citations in 2024 concerning cables obstructing egress from fire escapes at both the west and rear locations. Apartment 1C has been a particular focus of maintenance issues, with multiple violations recorded in 2023-2024, including problems with door self-closing mechanisms, leaky faucets, and plaster/paint conditions. The building's history also includes some concerning structural stability complaints in early 2024, though inspections did not find violations. There was a noteworthy regulatory issue in 2020 regarding work without a permit, related to scaffolding and window modifications, which resulted in a $6,250 violation that remains active.

Additionally, there were two bedbug reporting periods (2018-2019 and 2022-2023) showing some infestation cases, though recent filings indicate no active infestations. The property has maintained relatively regular bedbug reporting compliance, with the most recent filing showing zero infested units for the period of November 2022 to October 2023. In 2024, a citation was issued for failure to file a required external low-pressure inspection report, though this violation was later dismissed. The building's management has addressed most violations in a timely manner, with several being certified as corrected in 2025.
