183 Cooper Street, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The two-family house at 183 Cooper Street in Bushwick, owned by Cesar Velesaca, is a two-story residential building constructed in 2003. The property has experienced two notable incidents of heat and hot water issues in December 2022, categorized as emergency complaints, though these were resolved promptly within one to two days following verification by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development.

While the building has required rodent inspections throughout the years, the most recent inspections show improving conditions. The property passed inspections in 2025 and 2024, though there was documented rat activity in March 2024, with previous consistent passing results in 2023, 2022, 2021, 2020, 2013, and 2012 indicating generally good maintenance practices regarding pest control. The building has undergone regular rodent inspections, with eight recorded inspections between 2012 and 2025, most recently receiving passing results in April 2025 and April 2024.

The single instance of rat activity in March 2024 appears to be an exception in an otherwise consistent record of compliance with pest control requirements. The heat and hot water issues in December 2022, while concerning, were addressed swiftly through official intervention, and there have been no reported recurrence of similar issues since. Given the age of the building and the nature of the documented complaints, the property's maintenance record shows both typical urban challenges and timely responses to various maintenance issues.
