1091 Dean Street, Brooklyn, NY 11216

The three-story, eight-unit building at 1091 Dean Street in Crown Heights, owned by Cheryl Dotton, has experienced several significant maintenance and health-related issues over the past few years. The building, constructed in 1910 and classified as a "HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS B" structure, has persistent violations related to bedbug reporting requirements, with open violations on record in 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024 indicating failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by Housing Maintenance Code.

Additionally, the property has active Department of Buildings violations from June 2023 for failure to file external low pressure inspections for the years 2018, 2019, and 2021. Recent health concerns have centered around rodent activity, with multiple inspections revealing varying degrees of pest presence.

The most concerning pattern emerged in 2024, with initial inspections between June and August 2024 consistently showing rat activity, though some inspections also resulted in bait application or passed inspections. However, the situation showed improvement with the most recent rodent inspection in February 2025 resulting in a "Passed" status, suggesting better compliance with pest management protocols. While there have been numerous violations and inspections over the past three years, particularly regarding bedbug reporting and rodent issues, the building's management appears to be making efforts to address these concerns, as evidenced by the recent compliance pass in February 2025.
