65 Cooper Street, Manhattan, NY 10034

The 6-unit, 4-story building at 65 Cooper Street in Inwood, owned by Ben Landa and constructed in 1989, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, there was a heat and hot water emergency in November 2023 affecting the entire building, though tenants reported that these services were subsequently restored.

In 2025, the building faced rodent-related concerns, with an initial failed inspection in April 2025 marking the first such failure in recent memory, followed by a successful compliance inspection in June 2025. The property has a documented history of pest-related complaints, with three unsanitary condition complaints related to pests (two in late 2019/early 2020 and one in early 2020), though violations were not issued in the 2020 inspections. The building's compliance history shows attention to bedbug reporting requirements, with the most recent report for the period starting November 2023 indicating zero infested units, following similar patterns in previous years (2022 and 2023).

Between 2019 and 2025, the building has maintained a generally good record on rodent inspections, passing eight consecutive initial inspections from 2019 through 2024, with the exception of the April 2025 inspection. The property has been subject to three separate Housing Maintenance Code violations related to bedbug reporting requirements between 2021 and 2023, though these appear to have been resolved through subsequent filings. While the building has demonstrated regular responsiveness to inspection requirements and generally addressed most issues, the recent heat/hot water and rodent concerns suggest areas requiring continued monitoring.
