Augrented Insights Report for 1197 Dean Street

The 1197 Dean Street building in Crown Heights is a 3-story, 7-unit residential property built in 1910 and currently owned by Salvatore D'avola. The building has experienced significant recurring maintenance issues, particularly related to plumbing and heating systems. Since 2024, there have been multiple emergency complaints regarding heat and hot water, with the entire building experiencing problems in December 2024, and individual unit issues continuing into 2025.

These heating systems have been the subject of several Department of Buildings violations for defective or inoperative conditions between 2020-2023. The building has also faced persistent plumbing challenges, with multiple complaints about sinks, basins, and water leaks primarily affecting unit 2B, which has several open violations from a September 2024 inspection regarding water leaks, mold, and various maintenance issues. Recent concerns include multiple service requests in 2025 for heating, hot water, and sewer-related problems, many of which could not be fully investigated due to access issues. The building has maintained a consistent ordnance record for rodent activity, with inspections showing rat activity in 2024 and 2025, despite bait applications.

A notable environmental safety concern was documented in March 2024 regarding an expired sidewalk shed permit, though this has since been resolved. The property has shown good bedbug management, with no reported infestations since 2019. While some historical issues with the sidewalk shed and boiler systems have been addressed, their recurring nature suggests ongoing maintenance challenges within the building and its systems. A compliance inspection in May 2025 resulted in approval, indicating some progress in addressing the building's numerous maintenance issues, though many complaints remain unresolved or required follow-up inspections.
