1456 Dean Street, Brooklyn, NY 11213

The two-family house at 1456 Dean Street in Crown Heights, owned by Andrew Kane, has experienced several notable maintenance and pest-related issues in recent years. Most concerning is a rodent situation that emerged in May 2023, with multiple complaints received by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene reporting conditions attracting rodents.

Follow-up inspections confirmed rat activity, marking a significant departure from the building's previously better pest management record. Between 2012 and 2018, the property had maintained a generally positive track record with rodent inspections, passing four consecutive checks, though there was one failure in February 2012 for unspecified reasons.

The building's documented history also includes a gas utility complaint in December 2020, though this case was marked as "Inspector Unable To Gain Access" on two attempts before being closed in March 2021. In terms of bedbug activity, the property appears to be currently free of infestations as of the most recent annual reporting period (2023-2024), with no units reported as infested or requiring eradication. The building, constructed in 1901, has had two stories and contains two units, and while its age and location are typical for the neighborhood, the recent rodent activity stands out as the most significant maintenance concern on record.
