1163 Dean Street, Brooklyn, NY 11216
1163 Dean Street is a 3-story, 4-unit residential building constructed in 1889 in Crown Heights, currently owned by Yehuda Cohen. The property has experienced recurring rodent issues, with three confirmed rat activity incidents in 2025 alone, though recent inspections in July 2025 marked a clean passing status.
The building has undergone various maintenance and compliance challenges, including multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations in 2023-2024 related to building safety and maintenance. These violations, which have since been resolved, included issues with self-closing doors, missing building registration signs, and improper bedbug reporting procedures. The property has a documented history of safety concerns from 2019-2020 during renovation work, where multiple Environmental Control Board violations were issued regarding inadequate safety measures, though these were ultimately resolved with a $10,000 penalty.
The building experienced significant infrastructure issues in 2018 when multiple violations were recorded concerning heat, hot water, and carbon monoxide safety in Apartment 2, though these violations are no longer listed as open. Recent maintenance records from 2024 show improvements in building conditions, with bedbug reports showing no infestations in the past three reporting periods (2021-2024) and successful compliance with building inspection requirements, though the building has had recurring rat activity that requires monitoring. The property has also seen regular permit activity, with several work permits issued between 2019-2020, suggesting ongoing maintenance and improvement efforts by the current ownership.
