AI summary · updated June 2026

296 Cooper Street is a two-story, four-unit residential building constructed in 1906 in Bushwick, currently owned by 296 Cooper LLC. The property has experienced persistent water-related issues throughout 2024, with multiple 311 complaints regarding leaks, including both slow and heavy flow incidents. Notably, several complaints between January and July 2024 were closed without inspection access, suggesting ongoing access-related challenges for building management to address these issues. A significant inspection in September 2024 revealed multiple violations in Apartment 2F, including missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, visible mold in the bathroom ceiling, and various ceiling repair and painting requirements. These violations were all subsequently certified as corrected by late 2024 and early 2025.

The building's maintenance history shows recurring water management concerns, with a 2021 Environmental Control Board violation regarding an inoperable rear yard drain that resulted in flooding. While recent inspections for rodent activity in 2024 and 2025 passed, there was a failed inspection for other reasons in 2020. The property has maintained a clean record for bedbug infestations from 2020 to the present, with no reported cases or treatments in any of the tenant filings. The most recent Department of Buildings complaint from 2024 regarding drainage issues was ultimately found to have no violation warranted at the time of inspection. The building's overall compliance with housing maintenance codes shows improvement, with several recent violations being promptly addressed and certified as corrected within reasonable timeframes.
