25 Covert Street, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The 6-unit, 3-story Old Law Tenement building at 25 Covert Street in Bushwick, owned by Todd Milner, has a documented history of significant maintenance issues, particularly between late 2018 and early 2020. The building experienced multiple heat and hot water supply complaints during winter months (December 2018 through February 2020), with authorities unable to gain access for inspections in each instance.

There were also recurring water supply and plumbing issues during this period. Of particular note is a cluster of emergency maintenance complaints in February 2020 involving heat/hot water systems, cooking gas, and water leak problems, with multiple HPD cases opened and closed without access inspections being conducted. The building currently has four open Class A violations related to the Annual Bedbug Report filing requirement, with inspection dates ranging from 2021-2024.

An illegal conversion complaint was filed in December 2019, though access was denied during inspection attempts. Rodent inspections show mixed results over the years: while the most recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 passed, there were documented rat activity issues in August and September 2022, with earlier inspections in 2012 showing compliance. Despite these challenges, it's worth noting that there have been no recorded heating or plumbing complaints since February 2020, and the building has passed its most recent rodent inspections in early 2025.
