1166 Dean Street, Brooklyn, NY 11216

The 1166 Dean Street property in Crown Heights, owned by Maurice Medley, is a three-story, single-family residence built in 1889. The building has encountered several significant regulatory issues, most notably in December 2018, when multiple Environmental Control Board violations were recorded related to illegal occupancy and safety concerns.

These violations included operating unauthorized transient accommodations on the first floor, failure to maintain proper fire safety systems including sprinklers and alarms, and inadequate means of egress, all of which posed serious safety concerns for residents. While many of these violations were subsequently resolved, they resulted in fines totaling $10,250. More recently, the building has faced recurring issues with bedbug reporting compliance, with an open Housing Maintenance Code violation as of April 2024 and similar violations in previous years between 2021 and 2023.

However, the building's recent rodent inspection records show consistent compliance, with all ten inspections from 2019 through early 2025 passing without any issues. The property has also maintained an active bedbug reporting history, with the most recent reports from 2022 showing no current infestations, though two units were previously noted as having required eradication measures. The building's status has stabilized in recent years, with no new major violations recorded since 2018, though the open bedbug reporting violation remains a notable concern.
