2449 Dean Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233

The three-story, two-family house at 2449 Dean Street in Brownsville, managed by Dean Atlantic Hdfc, has experienced persistent maintenance challenges throughout 2024, with a particular concentration of issues in apartment 2. Between February and December 2024, multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations were documented, primarily affecting the kitchen area, including problems with mold, pests, water leaks, and various structural deficiencies.

Notable issues included an open violation from December 2024 regarding a cockroach infestation in apartment 2, along with other open violations related to a defective kitchen door, ceiling paint requirements, floor tile repairs, and mold conditions. Prior to this, from late 2023 into early 2024, the building faced similar problems, with documented cases of mold, pests, and water leaks, leading to multiple violations issued by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) during inspections in February 2024.

The building's maintenance history shows some areas of concern, particularly regarding sanitary conditions, as evidenced by multiple 311 service requests and Housing Maintenance Code complaints throughout 2024. While there have been no documented bedbug or rodent infestation issues in recent years, the persistent pattern of unsanitary conditions, including repeated pest infestations and moisture-related problems, suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. It's worth noting that prior to the current issues, the building underwent successful rodent inspections in 2018 and 2019, both passing successfully, and there have been no documented bedbug infestations in any of the recent annual reports since 2021, indicating some improvement in pest management despite the current issues.
