1437 Dean Street, Brooklyn, NY 11213

This two-family home at 1437 Dean Street in Crown Heights, owned by Matthew Kern, has a century of history dating back to 1900. The building's recent record shows several noteworthy events between 2019 and 2020, primarily related to construction and compliance issues.

In 2019, a stop work order was issued regarding unpermitted construction activities, though this order was fully rescinded by June 2019. In mid-2020, there were two significant complaints: one related to COVID-19 compliance on June 11, which resulted in violations being served, and another on July 8 concerning work without proper permits, though no violations were found upon inspection.

Notably, there is currently one active Department of Buildings violation from the June 2020 COVID-19 inspection that is still in disposition status with no specific description provided. The most recent building-related report from July 2024 indicated no bedbug activity in the property between November 2022 and October 2023, with zero units affected or requiring eradication efforts during this period, suggesting effective pest management practices. Given the age of the building and its classification as a two-family house, these documented events suggest a typical range of urban property management challenges, with particular attention needed to ensure resolution of the outstanding 2020 COVID-related violation and monitoring of the previously documented construction compliance issues.
