15 Cooper Street, Manhattan, NY 10034
15 Cooper Street is a 5-story, 42-unit residential building located in Inwood, built in 1916 and currently owned by Jennifer Severino. The property has experienced persistent maintenance and safety issues, particularly regarding heat and hot water systems. Between March and May 2025, there were multiple complaints about heat/hot water issues affecting the entire building, with several resulting in HPD violations. More recently, in May 2025, the building was cited for unsafe indoor air quality due to mold, along with issues involving refrigerators and further heat/hot water complaints.
The building has also faced significant safety concerns, as evidenced by multiple emergency Housing Maintenance Code (HMC) complaints filed in May 2025 regarding smoke detectors, fire escapes, and carbon monoxide detectors. An inspection in December 2024 revealed multiple violations in apartment 5C, including pest infestations (roaches and mice), water leak issues, and heating problems, while apartment 4B was noted for heating and hot water violations. The building's mechanical systems have been another area of concern, especially regarding the boiler. Between 2023-2024, multiple complaints were filed regarding the boiler's operation, with environmental violations recorded for oil leaks and hazardous smoke conditions.
While these violations were marked as resolved, there were also several boiler-related complaints between 2022-2024 that warranted inspections, though most did not result in violations. The building has passed rodent inspections in 2025, though previous inspections between 2023-2024 consistently indicated rat activity. Recent bedbug reports for the 2023-2024 period show one infested unit that was eradicated, with no re-infestations. The property has maintained regular compliance reporting for pest control and bedbug inspections, showing periods of both infestation and successful eradication.
