301 Covert Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237

301 Covert Street is a 19-unit, 5-story residential building located in Bushwick, constructed in 2017 and currently owned by Mendy Deutsch. The property has encountered several maintenance issues over the past three years, with the most recent significant violations occurring in January 2023 involving self-closing door issues at the compactor closet and public hall on the 5th story, which remain unresolved as of October 2023.

The building has also faced persistent maintenance challenges in 2022, with multiple open violations related to fire safety and general upkeep, including defective fire retardant materials, paint requirements in various stair and hall areas, and missing window components on the 5th story. While there was one complaint about falling debris in May 2022, no violation was found upon inspection. The elevator system appears to have required attention in both 2020 and 2021, as evidenced by DOB violations that were subsequently resolved.

On a positive note, the building has demonstrated consistent pest management, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past four years (2021-2024), and has passed all rodent inspections conducted between 2019 and 2025. The property received its necessary permits for construction and equipment installation in August 2018, though the building's relatively young age (built in 2017) raises questions about the frequency and persistence of some of the maintenance issues observed. The current open violations and unresolved maintenance matters suggest ongoing challenges with building upkeep, particularly in relation to door, window, and fire safety requirements.
