1361 Dean Street, Brooklyn, NY 11216

The three-story, four-unit brownstone at 1361 Dean Street in Crown Heights, built in 1892 and currently owned by Denise Forde, has a notable record of housing maintenance code violations related to bedbug reporting requirements. Specifically, the building has received four consecutive violations between 2021 and 2024 for failing to file the mandated annual bedbug report as required under Housing Maintenance Code Section HMC.

While these violations are significant in terms of regulatory compliance, it's worth noting that the property has consistently passed all rodent inspections conducted between 2017 and 2025, including recent inspections in July 2025, which suggests effective pest management systems in place. The most recent incident involving the building occurred in May 2025, when the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene responded to a rodent sighting complaint.

However, this inspection did not result in any violations and the property was found to be in compliance at that time. The building's overall record shows a pattern of timely responses to inspection requirements, with rodent-related issues being effectively managed according to passing inspection results. The persistent bedbug report violation, though noteworthy, appears to be an administrative compliance issue rather than one directly affecting resident health or safety, especially given the building's clean bill of health from recent rodent inspections and the absence of any other documented violations or complaints.
