1156 Dean Street, Brooklyn, NY 11216

1156 Dean Street is a four-story, eight-unit residential building constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Pete Jacov. The property has experienced recurring pest and sanitation issues over recent years, with the most recent complaints in late 2023 regarding pests and mailboxes, and multiple rodent-related inspections and treatments recorded between 2024 and 2025 showing consistent rat activity. The building has also faced several maintenance challenges, including water supply pipe issues, door problems, and various code violations.

Notably, there are two active violations from the Department of Buildings regarding failure to file external low pressure inspection reports for 2022 and annual boiler inspection for 2017. Between 2021 and 2024, multiple violations related to safety features were documented, such as required repairs to self-closing doors and security systems, though many of these violations have since been closed. The building's record shows some attention to bedbug management, with reports filed for the 2021-2025 periods indicating no current infestations, though there were multiple violations regarding bedbug report filings in 2023.

Various compliance and emergency inspections by HPD and DOHMH have occurred, with most resulting in no violations or being unable to gain access for inspection. The property's maintenance history indicates ongoing challenges with rodent control and periodic building upkeep, as evidenced by the frequency of service requests and inspections. While some violations have been resolved and there are regular bedbug and rodent inspections, the persistent nature of certain issues, particularly relating to pests and building systems, is notable.
