1162 Dean Street, Brooklyn, NY 11216

The four-story, 10-unit building at 1162 Dean Street in Crown Heights, owned by Kim Bryan and constructed in 1888, has experienced several recurring pest-related issues over the past five years. Most notably, there has been a consistent pattern of rodent sightings and activity, with multiple complaints filed through 311 between 2019 and 2023, including a rat sighting complaint in January 2023 that resulted in violations found by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene.

The building has undergone regular rodent inspections, and while these have produced some "Passed" results, there have also been documented instances of rat activity, particularly in 2024 and early 2025. The property has maintained its bedbug reporting compliance, with the most recent report for the period of November 2022 to October 2023 showing no infested units or re-infestations.

Historically, there was one significant heat and hot water complaint for the entire building in December 2019, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify the conditions. While there was a phase of rodent-related violations issued in 2020, recent inspections indicate improved conditions, with the most recent rodent inspection in March 2025 passing compliance. The building has consistent bedbug report filings and demonstrates an ongoing effort to address pest control, as evidenced by the inspection results and periodic violation notices.
