28 Covert Street, Brooklyn, NY 11207
The 3-story, 11-unit New Law Tenement building at 28 Covert Street, owned by Fagy Brill and built in 1912, has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, particularly related to heating systems and door concerns. Most notably, there was a significant bedbug infestation in all 11 units reported during the 2022-2023 period, though subsequent filings for 2023-2025 show no infestations.
The building has faced recurring heating problems, with multiple complaints about lack of heat and hot water between 2018 and 2019, though records indicate these issues were resolved (or access for inspection was denied) in each instance. Recent violations from July 2024 point to concerns with door safety mechanisms at the building's entrance, including the use of permanent door stoppers and defective self-closing doors at the vestibule entrance, representing a potential safety concern. The building has undergone regular pest control efforts, with rat activity noted in inspections throughout 2022-2025, though most recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 showed compliance and no active rat issues.
Historical records show various maintenance issues have been addressed, including plumbing repairs in apartment 3B in 2017 and smoke detector installation in apartment 2R (2003). The property has generally complied with housing maintenance code requirements, though there were two years (2021-2022 and 2022-2023) when the annual bedbug report filing was marked as A violations for failure to file. While the building has experienced its share of maintenance challenges, most recent data from 2024-2025 shows improved conditions, with no reported infestations and successful rodent control inspections.
