116 Covert Street is a 5-story, 9-unit condominium building in Bushwick that was constructed in 2015. The property has experienced recurring issues with water-related problems, most recently documented in May 2024, where multiple complaints were filed regarding ceiling paint/plaster conditions and water leaks, including reports of damp spots and slow leaks.

Apartment 4A, in particular, has received recent Housing Maintenance Code violations for defective electrical lighting, plastered surfaces, and water leak issues in the bathroom. The building's maintenance history shows consistent attention to pest control, with bedbug reports from 2019-2025 indicating no infestations, and recent rodent inspections in 2024 and 2025 showing passing results. The building's recent inspection in May 2024 has resulted in several open violations that require attention, including the need to properly post safety notices regarding carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, and gas leak procedures, as well as to maintain proper signage for building registration and housing information.

Historically, the building has had various maintenance issues since its construction, including multiple instances of water leaks and mold problems recorded in both 2019 and 2024, though many of these complaints were closed without violations being issued. The property has undergone routine elevator inspections, with some violations recorded between 2018-2021, and has maintained compliance with most housing maintenance requirements over the years. The recent rodent inspections and consistent bedbug reporting without incidents suggest effective pest management in the building.
