103 Cooper Street, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The two-story, single-unit building at 103 Cooper Street in Bushwick, owned by Socorro Gilkes, was constructed in 1899 and has experienced several significant events over recent years. One notable incident occurred in January 2023 when building materials were found to be improperly maintained, with sections of aluminum siding having detached and fallen onto the property, resulting in an Environmental Control Board violation.

The building has been subject to recurring administrative issues regarding bedbug reporting compliance, with violations issued in 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024 for failing to file the required annual bedbug reports, though the most recent 2025 report shows no infested units or eradications during the previous period. This building has been regularly inspected for rodent control, with all inspections since 2020 passing except for one failed inspection in March 2020 for unspecified reasons, though this appears to be an anomaly given the consistent compliance demonstrated in other inspections.

The property has a history of interaction with city services, including a health department investigation related to a mobile food vendor complaint in late 2021, which was finally closed in January 2025. Despite these issues, it's worth noting that the building's recent bedbug report (2025) and rodent inspection results (April 2025) indicate improved compliance with important health and safety reporting requirements. The building's maintenance record shows a mix of compliance and violations primarily related to administrative requirements rather than structural or safety concerns, with the most recent significant violation being the January 2023 issue related to exterior building materials.
