75A Cooper Street, Manhattan, NY 10034

75A Cooper Street is a 4-story, 6-unit residential building constructed in 1989 and currently owned by Jay Gelb. The building has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, most notably concerning apartment 1A, where multiple violations were documented in late 2024 regarding defective carbon monoxide and smoke detectors, as well as problems with a sliding glass door leading to the rear yard. A significant concern was noted in February 2024 related to water damage and a partially collapsed ceiling in the rear left bedroom of apartment 1A, with an associated penalty of $1,250.

The building has also faced recurring heating and hot water issues, particularly during January 2019 when multiple complaints were filed, though many were not able to be inspected due to access issues. Recent inspections and violations indicate ongoing safety management challenges, including an open violation (as of October 2024) regarding defective self-closing doors at the boiler room. The building has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, showing zero infestation reports since 2023.

Rodent inspections show mixed results, with "Rat Activity" observed in August 2024 and November 2024, though the most recent inspection in March 2025 passed. The property's fire safety compliance has been addressed, with multiple "A" class violations related to smoke and carbon monoxide detector requirements being certified as corrected by November 2024. The building's management has generally responded to violations, as evidenced by multiple "Close" status updates, though there are some active concerns that require continued monitoring.
