10 Cooper Street, Manhattan, NY 10034

The 6-story New Law Tenement building at 10 Cooper Street in Inwood, owned by David Edelstein, has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues throughout 2025, with multiple building-wide complaints filed and documented by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) between February 15 and February 24, 2025, all of which were ultimately closed after conditions were reportedly corrected. The building has also faced a series of elevator-related concerns, with six complaints regarding "Single Device on Property/No Alternate Service" between October and December 2021, and associated Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations in 2019 for missing door restrictors and electrical work without permits in the laundry room areas, though these were resolved.

Regular inspections have revealed various maintenance issues, including multiple violations related to defective self-closing doors in 2024, a rodent infestation in apartment 1I, and hot water supply problems in apartment 5D. The building's management has worked to address these violations, with most being marked as resolved in subsequent inspections.

Though there have been reports of rat activity in several inspections between 2022 and 2025, recent inspections (April 2025 and August 2024) have shown passed results for rodent presence. The building has maintained a positive bedbug reporting record, with no confirmed infestations in the past three years (2021-2024). While the property has experienced various maintenance and service issues over the past few years, recent improvements in rodent control and the absence of bedbug infestations suggest some progress in building maintenance, though the recurring heat and hot water issues in early 2025 remain a notable concern.
