2218 Dean Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233
The three-story, three-unit tenement building at 2218 Dean Street in Crown Heights, owned by Mindi Friedman and constructed in 1910, has experienced several maintenance and health-related issues over recent years. The property has a documented history of rodent problems, with recent complaints in June 2024 and 2021, though inspections could not be completed in both instances due to access issues.
There have been multiple reports of unsanitary conditions, including a 2022 mold complaint and 2021 pest issue, neither resulting in violations. The building has faced various infrastructure challenges, including an emergency water leak with heavy flow in 2021, electrical problems (no lighting and outlet/switch issues), and a heat/hot water outage in November 2019 that was reportedly resolved quickly. The 2022 inspection revealed several building code violations, primarily related to safety and maintenance requirements, such as missing notices, maintenance of self-closing doors, and painting requirements in public areas.
Notable among these was an open violation for Apartment 2 regarding paint requirements. A carbon monoxide detector issue was also reported in 2019, and there was a drainage complaint in late 2023 that could not be investigated due to access issues. On a positive note, the building has maintained a consistent record of zero bedbug infestations, as evidenced by the annual reports showing no affected or re-infested units from 2020 through 2024, and the most recent rodent inspection in August 2024 was failed for "Other Reasons," though specific details were not provided in the records.
