1213 Dean Street, Brooklyn, NY 11216
1213 Dean Street is a 3-story, 5-unit residential building located in Crown Heights, built in 1892 and currently owned by Barbara Spence. The property has experienced notable heating system issues, particularly in January 2024, with multiple complaints (six in total) regarding inadequate heat and hot water, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building.
These complaints were classified as emergency situations but were closed within a few days after the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) verified the issues were addressed, suggesting they were temporary in nature. The building has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with records from 2021 through 2024 showing zero infested dwelling units, though there were three violations noted between 2021 and 2023 regarding the late filing of the annual bedbug report, all subsequently closed. The property's rodent control measures show mixed results, with regular inspections between 2021 and 2025.
Most recent inspections from 2024 and 2025 passed successfully, though there were instances of rat activity noted in December 2023 and December 2021 inspections, with bait applied during the January 2022 inspection. The building's most recent rodent inspection in June 2025 was conducted as an initial inspection and passed. While the heating system issues in early 2024 were significant, the prompt response and resolution suggest active management of maintenance concerns, and the successful rodent and bedbug management since 2021 indicates generally effective pest control practices.
