Augrented Insights Report for 1242 Dean Street

1242 Dean Street is a 3-story, 16-unit residential building located in Crown Heights, owned by Asha John and constructed in 1890. The property has experienced notable maintenance issues throughout its history, with the most significant being recurring problems with heat and hot water in late 2018, which were documented as emergency complaints to HPD. During mid-2018, multiple complaints regarding wall and floor conditions were filed, resulting in several housing violations.

The building is currently facing open bedbug reporting violations from 2022-2024, following multiple inspections from HPD indicating non-compliance with annual bedbug reporting requirements. The building's maintenance history includes periods of pest control challenges, as evidenced by violations and complaints in 2018 regarding roaches in apartment B2. There were also concerns about illegal hotel room activities in 2019, though inspectors encountered access issues during their visits.

The property has had mixed results in rodent inspections, with the most recent inspections in 2025 and 2024 passing, though there were reports of rat activity in February and March 2024. Additional building violations from 2018 included plumbing issues, with inspections revealing multiple maintenance concerns such as problems with walls, ceilings, and floors. While some violations have been resolved, including those from 2019 related to Certificate of Correction filings, the open bedbug reporting violations and historical maintenance issues suggest ongoing challenges with property upkeep.
