588 Dean Street, Brooklyn, NY 11238

588 Dean Street is a two-family residence located in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn, built in 1910 and currently owned by Charles Quimby. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the years, most notably an unresolved housing maintenance violation dating back to February 2004 regarding inadequate hot water supply in both the kitchen and bathroom of the two-story apartment, which remains open as of the latest records.

The building has undergone multiple bedbug inspections between 2021 and 2025, with all reports indicating zero infested or eradicated units, suggesting effective pest management, though the presence of these inspections highlights an ongoing monitoring requirement. The property has faced rodent challenges, with the most recent inspections showing a concerning pattern: in April 2025, there was initial rat activity observed, followed by a compliance inspection in May 2025 that passed, suggesting temporary rodent presence was addressed promptly.

Historical records from 2010 show similar rodent activity, indicating this has been an occasional issue for the building. Notably, the building's maintenance history shows some improvements, as evidenced by the 2021 certification of the previously mentioned hot water violation, though the current status of this fix is unclear. The presence of multiple inspections and the building's age suggest ongoing maintenance needs, while the lack of recent bedbug infestations is a positive indicator of pest management efforts.
