69 Cooper Street, Brooklyn, NY 11207

69 Cooper Street is a 3-story, 6-unit tenement building constructed in 1906, currently owned by Henry Wright. The property has experienced persistent pest control challenges, particularly with rodent issues, showing ongoing rodent activity as recently as July 2025 despite multiple baiting and compliance inspections throughout 2023-2025.

The building has a concerning history of infrastructure issues, including a complete heating and hot water failure affecting the entire building in January 2023, and a heavy water leak incident in April 2022 that was classified as an emergency. Multiple maintenance issues were reported in February 2022, including concerns with safety features such as smoke detectors, electrical outlets, and wall conditions, all of which were addressed according to HPD records. The building has maintained an active bedbug prevention program, with all recent bedbug reports from 2021-2025 indicating zero infested or re-infested dwelling units, though violations related to the annual bedbug reporting requirement were noted in inspections from 2021-2024.

Follow-up inspections by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene in 2023 and 2025 found violations requiring further monitoring, particularly focusing on rodent-related issues. Most recently, in 2025, inspectors applied bait as part of ongoing rodent control efforts. While the building has experienced various maintenance and infrastructure issues over the past few years, the property management has generally responded to complaints and resolved most reported problems, as indicated by the "Closed" status on most service requests.
