13 Cooper Street, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The three-story, three-unit Old Law Tenement at 13 Cooper Street in Bushwick, owned by Melody Grissom-Tyrell, has a documented history of both pest control and maintenance compliance issues over the past several years. Most notably, the building has received Annual Bedbug Reporting violations consistently from 2021 through 2024, as evidenced by Housing Maintenance Code violations citing failure to file the required reports.

However, a recent filing in June 2024 for the period of November 2022 to October 2023 shows no infested units, no units that were eradicated, and no re-infested units, suggesting successful resolution of this particular compliance issue. The building has experienced some rodent-related challenges, with a rat sighting reported in May 2020 that prompted a Department of Health inspection, which found no violations at that time.

Rodent inspections conducted regularly from 2012 through 2025 show a generally positive pattern, with only one instance of "Rat Activity" recorded in March 2017, while all other inspections, including the most recent in April 2025, have passed without any noted issues. This suggests effective ongoing pest management, despite the initial reporting violations. The property's maintenance records indicate attention to compliance matters, with violations being addressed and closed, though the pattern of bedbug reporting violations over multiple years indicates there were some administrative oversights in this area prior to June 2024.
