15 Cooper Street, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The three-story, six-unit tenement building at 15 Cooper Street in Bushwick, owned by Joseph Yaakovzadeh and constructed in 1910, has experienced several significant issues over the past few years. Most notably, in late 2022, there was an emergency heat and hot water outage affecting the entire building, though this problem was reportedly resolved within a week.

The building has maintained an active response to pest control matters, with annual bedbug reports filed showing zero infestation incidents between 2021 and 2024, and recent rodent inspections in 2024 and 2025 showing "Passed" results after previous rat activity was documented in 2019, 2020, and 2021. From 2021 to 2022, during a period of construction activity represented by multiple permits, there were several Department of Buildings violations associated with Stellar Industries Inc, particularly concerning safety and compliance issues related to construction protection systems and documentation.

These violations, issued in May and September 2021, included problems with roof protections, scaffold support, and failure to maintain required onsite documents, resulting in monetary penalties totaling $2,375. The building's maintenance history shows consistent attention to regulatory requirements, with recent inspections passing all relevant checks. While there have been various complaints and violations recorded over the years, the property has generally addressed these issues, as evidenced by the closure of most complaints and the regular filing of required reports, such as the annual bedbug report which shows no recorded infestations during the current reporting periods.
