1308 Dean Street, Brooklyn, NY 11216

1308 Dean Street is a 3-story, 5-unit, 1893 two-family house located in Crown Heights and currently owned by Barbara Spence. The property has experienced several notable events over the past several years, with the most recent being a boiler complaint in June 2025 that ended with an inspector being unable to gain access on their second attempt.

Between 2018-2020, the building underwent significant construction work that resulted in multiple complaints and violations, including illegal work on a landmark building in October 2018, followed by construction-related safety violations in April 2020 with penalties totaling $9,100 related to missing handrails and unsafe working conditions, though these violations were subsequently resolved. During this period, there were also issues with failure to comply with commission orders and work done without proper permits. The building has maintained a strong record of rodent inspections, passing all twelve inspections conducted between 2020 and 2025.

Recent pest control records show no bedbug infestations reported in the past three years (2021-2025), as demonstrated by quarterly filings with consistent zero counts for infested, eradicated, and re-infested units. The property has received several permits for work, primarily focusing on plumbing and alteration projects between 2019-2020, with the most recent permits issued in December 2020. While the building has faced some compliance issues in the past, particularly during the 2018-2020 period, recent years have shown improved maintenance and compliance with regulatory requirements, particularly in terms of pest control and rodent management.
