283 Cooper Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237
283 Cooper Street is a 2-family house located in Bushwick, built in 1930 and currently owned by Z & D Menahan Llc. The property experienced a significant cluster of maintenance issues in late 2018, with multiple complaints and violations documented between August and October 2018.
These included problems with mold (with two separate complaints), a steam pipe/riser issue, ventilation system problems, lighting concerns, and window frame deficiencies. All these complaints were investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), though no violations were issued for any of these inspections. However, two open Class B violations remain on record regarding illegal plumbing and cooking facilities in the cellar, specifically concerning a sink and gas range installation, which were cited as creating unlawfully partitioned living spaces.
The Department of Buildings investigated a related complaint of illegal conversion in September 2018 but found no violations at the time of inspection. The building's rodent inspection history shows consistent attention to pest control, with the most recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 passing successfully, though there was one instance of rat activity noted in March 2020. The property generally maintained compliance with rodent control measures in the years prior, passing inspections in 2012, 2013, 2017, and most recently in 2024.
