296 Carlton Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11205

The three-story, four-unit residential building at 296 Carlton Avenue in Fort Greene, owned by Aaron Dean and dating back to 1858, has experienced several notable issues over recent years, with a particular focus on pest-related concerns. The property has documented history of pest problems, including a 2022 complaint regarding an unsanitary condition involving pests that led to HPD violations, and a specific Roach infestation violation in August 2022 affecting the second floor apartment.

While recent bedbug reporting from July 2024 shows no current infestations (with zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units reported), the building has had recurring violations related to annual bedbug reporting requirements in 2021, 2022, and 2023. More recently, in August 2023, the building attracted attention from the Department of Buildings for unauthorized construction work, resulting in an active ECB violation with a $1,250 penalty related to foundation demolition work and installation of new support posts.

This incident led to two complaints about work being done without proper permits, one of which resulted in a Partial Stop Work Order. The property owner has since addressed the bedbug reporting compliance issues, with no violations recorded in the most recent 2024 filing period. The building's maintenance history reflects regular inspections and ongoing requirements to maintain compliance with both pest control and construction regulation standards, with most historical violations now marked as closed.
