Augrented Insights Report for 768 Dean Street

The three-story, two-unit building at 768 Dean Street in Prospect Heights, owned by Shameem Chowdhury, has experienced persistent maintenance challenges since 2020. Most notably, there is an ongoing rat infestation issue, with the most recent rodent inspections in May 2025 confirming active rat activity.

The building has had three consecutive annual bedbug report violations between 2022-2024 that remain open, according to Housing Maintenance Code Violations. Serious infrastructure issues have been documented, including multiple emergency complaints in 2021-2022 related to water leaks, cooking gas concerns, electrical outages, and water supply problems, though these were resolved without violations.

The building has faced significant regulatory scrutiny regarding an allegedly illegal cellar apartment conversion, with an active Environmental Control Board violation from July 2021 assessing a penalty of $12,500 for unauthorized occupancy and installation of fixtures. While inspections of various complaints generally found no violations, the building's maintenance history suggests recurring issues with pests and infrastructure systems that require monitoring.
