182 Cooper Street, Brooklyn, NY 11207

182 Cooper Street is a 3-story, 4-unit residential building located in Bushwick, constructed in 1906 and currently owned by Ismene Speliotis. The property has experienced several notable maintenance issues in recent years, most significantly in April 2025 when multiple complaints were filed regarding unsanitary conditions (pests), water leaks (heavy flow), and wall paint/plaster problems. These complaints were closed when HPD inspectors were unable to gain access to conduct inspections, though they left cards and sent letters encouraging residents to reschedule.

The building has an open C-class violation from June 2023, requiring the abatement of cockroach and mouse infestations in apartment 2, though no bedbug infestations have been reported in the past five years according to the building's records. Other maintenance history includes a 2022 complaint about an electric/gas range that was inspected without resulting in any violations, and a March 2023 violation related to annual bedbug reporting that appears to have been resolved. The building's maintenance record shows generally good rodent control compliance, with annual inspections since 2012 showing "Passed" results in 2020, 2021, 2022, 2024, and 2025.

However, it's worth noting that there was recorded rat activity in October 2012. The property has had multiple housing maintenance code complaints and violations, most of which have been closed. In recent years, particularly in 2025, there have been recurring issues with access for inspections, as evidenced by the April 2025 complaints that were closed due to lack of access for HPD inspectors. The building's age and history of complaints suggest ongoing maintenance challenges, though the absence of bedbug reports in recent years and the passing rodent inspections indicate some aspects of pest management are being successfully maintained.
