162 Covert Street, Brooklyn, NY 11207

162 Covert Street is a brand new residential building constructed in 2023, with 8 units over 2 stories, currently owned by Joel Weiss. The building's construction period has seen several compliance issues, with the most recent concerns centering on construction safety and permit validation in 2024, including two Oath violations related to construction safety compliance and work beyond approved plans.

There have been multiple inspections and requirements under Local Law 188/17 for construction safety compliance, with the most recent inspection in November 2023 showing no violations. Earlier in the construction phase, there were several violations related to proper permit posting, sidewalk maintenance, and demolition safety in 2022, all of which were resolved. The building has undergone regular rodent inspections since 2011, with only two failures recorded during initial inspections in June 2011, while more recent inspections in 2022, 2024, and 2025 have shown compliance.

Notably, the building had significant issues regarding occupancy compliance in 2020-2021, with several violations issued for failure to comply with commissioner orders, resulting in penalties totaling $15,625 that were subsequently resolved. During the construction phase in late 2018, there were violations related to inadequate heat and hot water supply, as well as the lack of carbon monoxide detection devices in apartment 3, though these predate the current ownership and construction work. The building's permit history shows multiple permits issued through 2024, with the most recent related to new building construction, demonstrating ongoing compliance with permit requirements.
