66 Cooper Street, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The three-story, six-unit tenement building at 66 Cooper Street in Bushwick, built in 1920 and currently owned by Mendel Gluck, has experienced recurring maintenance issues over recent years. Most recently, in early 2025, the building faced multiple violations including electrical issues (outlet/switch problems), window frame problems, and plumbing concerns (basin/sink issues), all of which received HPD violations requiring owner remedies.

The building has also experienced ongoing heating and hot water problems, with multiple complaints between 2022 and 2024, though some were resolved upon inspection. The property currently shows three active violations with the Department of Buildings related to failure to file external low pressure inspections for 2019, 2021, and 2022. A comprehensive inspection of Apartment 1R in 2021 revealed numerous maintenance issues requiring attention, including non-functioning smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, bathroom water leaks, broken floor tiles, heating system deficiencies, and window problems, though records indicate these were subsequently addressed.

The building's condition has been monitored through regular inspections, with ongoing rodent activity recorded in 2022-2025 and bedbug reports consistently showing zero infestations since at least 2020. While there have been multiple complaints about various building systems including electricity, plumbing, windows, and flooring, most have been addressed through HPD inspections and received appropriate violation notices requiring owner compliance. The property has undergone two inspections for work without permits, though in both cases no violations were found upon inspection.
