1239 Dean Street, Brooklyn, NY 11216
1239 Dean Street is a 4-story, 5-unit residential building located in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, and owned by Evan Touhey. The 1890 structure, classified as "HEREAFTER CONVERTED CLASS A," has experienced several notable maintenance issues in recent years.
Most concerning is the active pattern of violations related to external low-pressure inspection filings, with four outstanding violations from 2018-2021, and a previously issued violation from 2017 that was dismissed on September 22, 2023. The building has also displayed persistent rodent-related concerns, with the most recent inspections in June 2025 showing rat activity, though these inspections have typically been passed in previous years.
While the property has maintained an active bedbug reporting record from 2021 through 2025, showing zero infestation cases during these periods, there was a notable violation in April 2021 regarding the failure to file an annual bedbug report, which was subsequently resolved. Historical data shows a boiler-related complaint from January 2020 was investigated and found no violations at the time, representing one of the few instances of immediate governmental response to a reported issue. Regular 311 complaints have been minimal, with only one rat sighting complaint in October 2021 that was investigated and found no violations.
