The 6-story, 52-unit residential building at 2 Cooper Street in Inwood, managed by Joseph Zitolo, has exhibited recurring maintenance and quality-of-life issues since 2024, with particular concern in recent months. Most notably, there have been multiple heat and hot water complaints in 2025 (April, March, and February), with several instances where inspectors were unable to gain access to verify conditions. While one heating complaint in January received an inspection with no violations noted, this pattern of heating-related issues is concerning. Additionally, there are persistent concerns about unsanitary conditions, specifically mold, with emergency complaints recorded in March and May 2025, following earlier violations issued in 2024. The building has faced several infrastructure challenges, including multiple reports of water leaks, appliance issues (such as refrigerator and electric range problems), and safety concerns regarding smoke detectors and electrical systems.
The property has a documented history of rodent activity, with inspections in 2024-2025 consistently showing evidence requiring bait application, though earlier inspections from 2022-2023 had passed. While there were reports of bedbug infestations in 2019-2020, recent filings from 2021-2024 indicate no infestations. The building underwent inspections that uncovered multiple violations in 2024, particularly affecting apartment 59, including issues with smoke detectors, door functionality, window conditions, and various interior surfaces. These violations were certified for correction, and while many complaints have been closed, the pattern of repeated heating, mold, and general maintenance issues suggests ongoing challenges with building systems and maintenance response. The building's heating system received multiple attention in 2024-2025, with boiler-related complaints recorded, though inspections did not warrant violations at that time.
