833 East 49th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11203

The two-family house at 833 East 49th Street in East Flatbush, owned by Tremayne Dean and built in 1899, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past two years. Most notably, in early 2023, there was a cluster of plumbing and heating-related problems, including issues with water supply, steam pipes, and a heat/hot water complaint that were categorized as emergencies, with one heat complaint resulting in the HPD being unable to gain access to inspect the conditions.

The building also faced multiple water leak incidents classified as heavy flow during this period. Safety concerns were highlighted with two separate carbon monoxide detector complaints in late 2022 and early 2023, though access issues prevented full inspection by HPD.

Additional issues included a ventilation system inspection in December 2022 and a sprinkler system inspection, neither of which resulted in any violations. Earlier plumbing problems noted in December 2022 involved a radiator issue, and there was one non-emergency complaint regarding unsanitary conditions related to pests. While many of these complaints were addressed and closed, the pattern of repeated plumbing and safety-related issues over this period is notable, with the most recent complaints being just over two years old from the current date of July 2025.
