38 Cooper Street, Brooklyn, NY 11207
The 16-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement building at 38 Cooper Street, Bushwick, is a 1904 structure currently owned by 38 Cooper St LLC. The property has experienced recurring issues with rodent activity, as documented by multiple inspections between 2019 and 2025 showing consistent rat activity, though recent inspections indicate improved conditions with passed results in 2025. The building has also faced significant maintenance challenges, including a pattern of heat and hot water complaints in 2020 and 2024, appliance issues, and a pest infestation problem with multiple complaints filed in 2024.
Notably, the building underwent major unauthorized renovation work in 2022, including the removal of kitchens and bathrooms in multiple units, which resulted in a $1,250 penalty, though this violation was resolved. Recent concerns include a 2024 indoor air quality complaint regarding chemical vapors, a gas/electric range issue, and multiple pest-related complaints, though most have been addressed or closed by HPD. The building has an active violation record for failure to file external low pressure inspections from 2018 through 2023, which remains unresolved as of 2024.
While the property has maintained a zero-reporting status for bedbugs since 2019, the ongoing rodent inspections and recent air quality complaint suggest that maintenance issues persist. The building's safety systems were reviewed in 2020 without violations, though there were multiple heat and hot water-related complaints that year. The property's inspection history shows a mix of resolved and ongoing issues, with some improvements in rodent control noted in recent inspections.
