Augrented Insights Report for 265 Covert Street

The three-unit, three-story tenement building at 265 Covert Street in Bushwick, owned by Morris Scott, has experienced several significant maintenance and health challenges over the past several years. Most concerning is the building's ongoing rodent problem, as evidenced by multiple inspections showing rat activity between 2023 and 2025, though a compliance inspection in May 2025 showed passing results.

The property has also faced several building system issues, particularly in early 2024, including violations related to electrical systems (outlets, lighting, and switches), during which inspectors found unsafe wiring conditions involving exposed extension cords. The building's second-floor apartment has multiple open violations from March 2024, including issues with missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, electrical systems, and requirements for proper painting and maintenance of surfaces. Additional concerns include two separate heat and hot water complaints in January 2024, limited access for inspections in one instance, and various unsanitary conditions including mold (February 2024).

The building has an open Housing Maintenance Code violation as of April 2024 regarding bedbug reporting requirements, and a prior boiler-related violation from 2022, which has since been addressed. While some inspections resulted in "no violations warranted" conclusions, the pattern of complaints and violations suggests ongoing maintenance and safety concerns. The most recent rodent inspection in May 2025 indicates some progress in pest control, though the building's history shows repeated reoccurrence of such issues.
