2337 Dean Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233

The two-family house at 2337 Dean Street in Crown Heights, owned by Erica Bruton, has experienced significant maintenance issues in recent months, particularly between February and March 2024. The building, which was constructed in 1901, has faced multiple heat and hot water system failures affecting the entire building, with emergency complaints logged in both February and March 2024.

The Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) documented violations during a March 2024 inspection related to these heat and hot water problems, though some inspections in February were inconclusive due to lack of access. Additionally, the property has experienced various other maintenance concerns during the same period, including multiple water leak issues (both slow and heavy flow), unsanitary conditions involving mold, and problems with doors, windows, floors, and walls.

Notably, while these issues were documented through 311 service requests and HPD inspections, many were closed without violations being issued. A pest-related complaint was also logged in February 2024, though it's not clear if this was directly related to the other reported issues. The building's most pressing concerns appear to be the recurring heating system failures, which were classified as emergencies and resulted in HPD violations in March 2024, representing a significant impact on resident comfort and safety.
