1293 Dean Street, Brooklyn, NY 11216

1293 Dean Street is a four-story, 8-unit tenement building located in Crown Heights, built in 1903 and currently owned by Winston Taitt. The building has a significant number of outstanding violations, with four open violations related to bedbug reporting requirements from 2021 through 2024, which have not been certified as resolved.

Additionally, there are two open violations from July 2018 concerning a defective mailbox and intercom system in the first-story foyer, specifically affecting apartment 7. The building has also received multiple 311 complaints over the years, most notably in 2018 when there were issues with the mailbox system, intercom system, and a water leak, though many of these complaints were closed due to lack of access for inspection. On a positive note, the building has consistently passed rodent inspections from 2019 through 2025, indicating effective pest control measures are in place.

There remains one active Department of Buildings violation from March 2022 that is yet to be resolved. While the building has shown some responsiveness to maintenance issues in the past (with specific violations being issued for mailbox and intercom problems in July 2018), the pattern of open violations and repeated bedbug reporting requirements suggests ongoing challenges with maintaining compliance with housing maintenance codes. The building's age and history of various maintenance issues indicate an ongoing need for attention to building systems and tenant amenities.
