183 Covert Street, Brooklyn, NY 11207

183 Covert Street is a 4-story, 8-unit residential building located in Bushwick, constructed in 2015 and currently owned by Mehrdad Kahan. The property has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, with the most notable being a power outage in October 2023, multiple water leak incidents (including heavy flow conditions in April 2023), and pest infestations. In mid-2023, the building received several Housing Maintenance Code violations related to unauthorized modifications, including illegal use of the cellar area for living purposes and unauthorized installation of bathroom facilities in Apartment 1R at the cellar level, for which a $1,250 penalty was imposed.

The building had documented water-related problems in both 2020 and 2023, including violations for leaks affecting Apartment 4R. Recent inspection history shows improved maintenance performance, with successful rodent inspections in 2022, 2024, and 2025, and no bedbug infestations reported in the past four reporting periods (2019-2025). The property had a notable structural concern in 2022 when damage was reported from a fallen tree, though this appears to have been addressed.

The building's systems have required ongoing attention, as evidenced by various maintenance complaints in 2023, including issues with lighting, smoke detectors, and general building cleanliness. While most recent violations have been addressed and closed, several maintenance requests in 2023 were marked as closed due to lack of access for inspection, including complaints about pests and water-related issues. The building's current status shows no active bedbug or rodent issues, suggesting recent improvements in pest management and building maintenance.
