37 Cooper Street, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The three-unit, three-story old-law tenement building at 37 Cooper Street in Bushwick, owned by Saundra Best, has a history of both bedbug and rodent-related issues over the past decade. Most notably, there have been recurring violations related to bedbug report compliance, with open violations recorded in 2022, 2023, and 2024, indicating the owner has failed to file the required annual bedbug reports as mandated by the Housing Maintenance Code.

While these violations are procedural in nature, their continued open status over multiple years could suggest ongoing challenges with pest management. In terms of rodent conditions, the building has shown variable results.

A rat activity citation was received in August 2017, but this was followed by compliance passes in September 2017 and consistently clean inspections in 2012, as well as initial inspections in 2022, 2024, and 2025, all of which passed. The most recent rodent inspection in April 2025 indicates improved conditions, though the building's rodent history suggests it was once a concern that has since been effectively managed. The property, built in 1899, has maintained its character as an old-law tenement, and while the building has some regulatory compliance issues, especially regarding bedbug reporting, recent inspections indicate stable conditions in major systems and pest management.
