1040 Dean Street, Brooklyn, NY 11238
1040 Dean Street is an 8-story, 121-unit residential building constructed in 2015 in Crown Heights, currently owned by Yaakov Blumenkrantz. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past two years, most notably with appliance problems in 2025 and heat/hot water outages affecting the entire building in December 2024. Multiple complaints regarding electric/gas ranges were filed in May 2025, with some inspections unable to be completed.
A concerning pattern emerged in mid-2024, with several complaints about building conditions including water leaks, ceiling damage, and electrical issues, though many of these inspections could not be completed due to access problems. The building received several Housing Maintenance Code violations in 2024, primarily related to unauthorized installation of synthetic turf on hall ceilings in common areas, though these were subsequently certified as resolved in September 2024. Current open violations include flooring issues in apartment 318 and door concerns in apartment 609, both from 2024 inspections.
The building's health and safety record shows no bedbug infestations reported between 2019 and 2024, with successful inspections for rodent control passing consistently since 2018. A Department of Buildings Environmental Control Board violation from 2020 related to storage facility equipment received no penalties and was resolved. While the property has experienced various maintenance challenges, most issues have been addressed through standard complaint resolution processes, though some of the most recent complaints regarding water damage and ceiling problems in 2024 remain partially documented. The building's overall record shows regular third-party inspections and compliance with most housing codes, though there are ongoing concerns about access for inspections and prompt maintenance responses to tenant complaints.
