1223 Dean Street, Brooklyn, NY 11216
1223 Dean Street is a three-story, six-unit residential building located in Crown Heights, built in 1891 and currently owned by Sofia Blain. The building has experienced several notable issues over the past few years, with the most concerning being open lead paint hazard compliance violations identified in July 2024 for Apartment 2 on the first floor, while similar violations affecting Apartments 3B, 3F, and 4F on the second and third floors were marked as "Close" though certification status remains unclear. The property has maintained a consistent record of passing rodent inspections, with regular inspections from 2022 to 2025 showing no significant rodent issues, though a rat activity violation was recorded in July 2021.
A food establishment complaint was filed in September 2024 regarding spoiled food, which was subsequently closed by the Department of Health. The building's history shows a pattern of occasional pest issues, with documented bedbug infestations in 2018-2019 and 2019-2020, though there have been no reported infestations in the subsequent five years. The property underwent some work in 2018 related to electrical work, as evidenced by permit records showing issuance on July 11, 2018.
Regular bedbug reporting from 2019 to 2025 has consistently shown zero infested units in recent periods, indicating successful pest management in recent years. The most recent rodent inspection in June 2025 passed, continuing the trend of compliance with rodent control requirements. While the building has maintained overall compliance with many health and safety inspections, the open lead paint hazard violations and previous pest issues warrant attention to ongoing maintenance and safety standards.
