372 Hooper Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211

372 Hooper Street is a 4-story, 6-unit Old Law Tenement building in Williamsburg, constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Luis Velez. The building has experienced several notable issues in recent years, with the most significant concerns centered around unit 4A. In early 2023, heat and hot water violations were documented, along with various door-related issues.

The building has also faced multiple heat and hot water complaints throughout December 2022-February 2023, with some inspection attempts resulting in no access being granted. More recently, in April 2024, a bedbug violation was issued regarding the failure to file the required annual bedbug report, though the building had no recorded infestations in the subsequent 2025 filing periods. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues, including a water leak documented in May 2022, interior paint/plaster problems, and multiple door-related complaints between 2022-2023. A significant violation regarding illegal cellar occupancy was filed in May 2022, with penalties imposed for unauthorized living quarters and plumbing fixtures in the cellar space.

The Department of Buildings records also show previous concerns about illegal conversions in 2022, though these complaints were subsequently closed. While there have been several emergency complaints requiring attention, most violations have been addressed and closed, with only a few remaining open as of the latest inspection dates. The building's management has demonstrated a pattern of addressing violations when cited, as evidenced by the closure of numerous violations, though some recurring issues suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. Recent bedbug reports indicate effective pest management, with no recorded infestations since 2020, and rodent inspections as of December 2018 showed compliance with health standards.
