Augrented Insights Report for 26 Covert Street

26 Covert Street is a 4-story, 8-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1906, currently owned by Moshe Kaff. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues in recent years, with multiple complaints about water leaks, heating problems, and various interior conditions. Most notably, there have been several unresolved water leak complaints in 2024 and 2025, and a heating/hot water issue in apartment 4B in October 2024 that resulted in violations.

The building has also faced pest control challenges, with a 2024 unsanitary condition complaint regarding pests that went uninspected due to access issues. The property has a history of accessibility concerns, with multiple HPD inspections unable to gain access to inspect reported issues in 2024, including complaints about paint/plaster conditions and water leaks. In late 2024, violations were issued for multiple accessibility and maintenance issues, including problems with self-closing doors, hot water provision, and access to the heating system. The building has demonstrated recurring issues with compliance and maintenance, including six missed low-pressure inspection filings between 2018-2022 and four related ECB violations in 2020.

Recent inspections in 2025 showed the building has passed rodent inspections, though there were reports of rat activity in March and April 2024. The property experienced occupancy-related compliance issues in 2019-2020, with violations related to "illegal" occupancy of the cellar and concerns about egress systems. While bedbug reports show mostly zero or minimal infestation counts in recent years, the building has shown some fluctuation in rodent activity based on inspection results. The most recent 311 service request as of March 2025 regarding a water leak remains unresolved due to access issues during inspection.
