243 Covert Street, Brooklyn, NY 11207
The two-family house at 243 Covert Street in Bushwick, owned by Sean Popermhem, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past five years, with the most substantial cluster of problems occurring in early 2020. In February 2020, there were multiple emergency and non-emergency complaints filed regarding heating issues, flooring problems, water leaks, and unsanitary conditions including pest infestations and mold.
During this period, two separate incidents were reported regarding stair-related problems that required HPD involvement, though inspectors were unable to gain access to the building for examination purposes. The building has current open violations from February 2020 related to safety and maintenance issues in the second-story public hall, including concerns about handrailings and steps, protruding staples creating cut hazards, broken fire-retardant materials, and paint conditions.
While there was an illegal conversion complaint filed in June 2020, inspections in October 2020 found no violations warranting citation. On a more positive note, the property has demonstrated consistent improvement in pest management, with all rodent inspections from 2012 through most recently in 2025 showing "Passed" results, indicating successful remediation of pest issues.
