116 Cooper Street, Brooklyn, NY 11207

116 Cooper Street is a two-story, two-family residential building located in Bushwick, Brooklyn, constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Omid Mashieh. The property has a documented history of significant maintenance issues, particularly during the latter part of 2018, when multiple tenants experienced recurring problems with heat and hot water, both in individual apartments and building-wide, with at least eight separate complaints filed during this period.

The Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) was frequently unable to gain access to the apartments for inspection purposes, though violations were eventually issued based on inspections of accessible units. In addition to the heating issues, there were multiple complaints regarding cooking gas problems during late 2018, with at least three separate incidents, and an appliance-related issue concerning an electric/gas range. The building's complaint history also includes two Department of Buildings (DOB) inspections in late 2018 that resulted in access being denied to inspectors on multiple attempts - one related to an illegal or defective gas hook-up/piping situation and another concerning construction work affecting grade and watercourse.

More recently, in April 2024, the DOB conducted a sweep inspection of the property which found no violations warranting further action. While the most recent inspection indicates improved overall conditions, the building's documented history from late 2018 shows a pattern of maintenance and access issues that persisted over several months. The property consists of three units, as per recent zoning data, though it is classified as a two-family house in city records.
