1165 Dean Street, Brooklyn, NY 11216

The 4-unit, 4-story building at 1165 Dean Street in Crown Heights, owned by Lynette Gill, has a mixed maintenance record since the beginning of 2025. Most concerning are recent violations related to doors, stairs, and pest control, with multiple service requests and violations issued between April and May 2025. Specifically, there are documented issues with stairs (April 2025), two door-related complaints (May 2025), and unsanitary conditions including garbage storage and pest problems (April-May 2025).

The building has also experienced heating and water supply-related issues, with HPD inspections in 2023 and 2024 showing either no violations or failed inspections due to lack of access. The property has several open violations from a November 2022 inspection, primarily affecting the fourth-floor apartment (#4), including issues with smoke detectors, a self-closing door, carbon monoxide detectors, and various plaster and paint concerns. Notably, there is one open Class B violation from December 2024 regarding a broken radiator in a second-floor apartment.

While the building participated in regular rodent inspections and has typically passed them since 2023, there were documented instances of rat activity in early 2022. On a positive note, there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the past five years, with the last documented case being resolved in 2018-2019. The building's maintenance record shows a pattern of recurring issues, particularly with doors, stairs, and various maintenance violations, though many recent complaints have been addressed through inspections or violations being issued.
