The neighbors reported the owner of Crown Heights' Susan Elkins house?the neighborhood's oldest, located at 1375 Dean Street?for demolition by neglect several months back, but now it seems some actual construction work is underway. A Brownstoner tipster spotted someone bringing construction supplies into the site, and a permit was recently approved for repairs and the removal of a defective chimney. The house was landmarked in 2006, and a proposal was denied earlier this year to turn the building into a one-to-three-family property. ['Stoner]
