1770 Dean Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233
The three-story, three-unit building at 1770 Dean Street in Crown Heights, owned by Yoel Salcer, has experienced persistent maintenance and health issues since its construction in 2005. Most notably, the building is currently facing rodent problems, with recent inspections in June 2025 and September 2024 confirming rat activity, and a DOHMH complaint in June 2025 indicating violations found on the property. The third-floor apartment (Apartment 3) has open violations from December 2024 regarding a leaking roof and infestations of roaches and mice, while Apartment 2 (notably in 2022) had multiple violations including mold in bathroom tiles, and defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, though these were marked closed after repairs in mid-2022.
A significant cluster of complaints emerged in April 2025, including issues with water leaks, pests, mold, and various door and wall conditions, though HPD inspections found many of these did not violate housing laws, except for one water leak violation. The building's maintenance history shows recurring problems with sanitation, including pests and water-related issues, though bedbug reports filed from 2021-2025 indicate no infestations during those periods. Additional concerns include a DOH rodent complaint from June 2025, various door/window issues, and paint/plaster problems documented in 2025.
The building has had three documented rodent inspections in 2024-2025 showing consistent rodent presence. A property-wide bedbug inspection requirement from 2022 was noted as open, though subsequent filings in 2023-2025 reported no infestations. An illegal conversion complaint was filed in January 2025 but was marked as "Inspector Unable To Gain Access" in February 2025. The building's records suggest ongoing challenges with basic maintenance and pest control, particularly in recent years, despite some violations being addressed and closed.
