The title compound, C13H16ClNO2, crystallized with two independent mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit (A and B). The piperidinol ring in mol-ecule B is disordered over two positions with a site occupancy ratio of 0.667 (5):0.333 (5). In both mol-ecules these rings have a chair conformation, including the minor component in mol-ecule B. Their mean planes are inclined to the benzene ring by 45.57 (13)° in mol-ecule A, and by 50.5 (4)° for the major component of the piperidine ring in mol-ecule B. In the crystal, the individual mol-ecules are linked by O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming chains of A and B mol-ecules along the [100] direction. The chains are inter-linked by C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming ribbons.
