1145 Dean Street, Brooklyn, NY 11216

1145 Dean Street is a 4-story, 10-unit residential building located in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, constructed in 1889 and currently owned by Dean Residence LLC. The property has experienced recurring issues with pest management over the past several years, most notably with bedbug reporting violations. Between 2021 and 2024, the building received four open violations related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports in accordance with HPD regulations, which remain unresolved as of April 2024.

The building also faced a rat sighting incident in April 2023, which led to violations being found by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, though no detailed resolution information is available. Recent rodent inspections of the property between 2022 and 2025 show generally positive results, with most inspections passing, though there was one instance of rat activity noted in June 2023. The building's heat and hot water system underwent an emergency inspection in November 2018, though no violations were found in that instance.

While the property has some historical Department of Buildings violations from 2019, their current status is unclear as the disposition dates are not provided. Notably, the building's latest rodent inspections in 2025 have resulted in passing grades, suggesting some improvement in pest management since the 2023 violation. However, the persistence of the bedbug reporting violations over multiple years indicates ongoing compliance challenges.
