2338 Dean Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233

The three-unit, three-story residential building at 2338 Dean Street in Crown Heights, owned by Wilmer Rodriguez, was constructed in 2009 and has experienced several notable issues during its occupancy. The property has had multiple complaints regarding unsanitary conditions, particularly concerning mold, with four separate complaints recorded between December 2018 and September 2019, all of which were investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development but were closed without violations being issued.

In September 2019, significant concerns emerged regarding illegal alterations to the building, when violations were recorded for unauthorized modifications including an illegal fourth apartment created in the cellar, which involved unauthorized living spaces and plumbing fixtures, though some related violations have since been marked as closed. The building has also demonstrated compliance with bedbug reporting requirements in recent years, with no infestations reported in any of the annual filings from 2019 through 2025.

More recently, in March 2022, the building received a violation related to the failure to file an annual bedbug report, while an inspection in November 2019 resulted in a rodent sighting complaint that was investigated and passed. The property has maintained an active compliance record regarding bedbug management since 2019, with no reported infestations in the past five years. The building's documented history suggests that while there have been several maintenance and compliance issues, particularly regarding illegal modifications and mold concerns, many of these issues have either been resolved or reached a closure status, with the property currently appearing to maintain proper pest control standards as evidenced by recent bedbug reporting compliance.
