Augrented Insights Report for 164 Covert Street

164 Covert Street is a 2-family residential building constructed in 1925 in Bushwick, currently owned by Joel Weisz. The property has experienced several significant issues in recent years, most notably a 2020-2024 vacate order related to illegal 3-family occupancy conversion, for which multiple Environmental Control Board violations remain active with penalties totaling $78,250.

The building has documented safety system concerns from 2019, including multiple heat and hot water outages and issues with gas supply, particularly affecting Apartment 1 on the 1st floor. These deficiencies resulted in Housing Maintenance Code violations for inadequate gas supply and hot water availability issued in December 2019, along with several safety-related complaints regarding smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in March 2019. The Department of Buildings records show ongoing compliance issues, with the most recent relevant inspection in January 2024 resulting in a violation for disobeying a vacate order.

However, as of 2024-2025, the building has successfully passed recent rodent inspections in April 2025 and May 2024, as well as August 2022, indicating improved maintenance conditions. An interesting note in the building's history involves a January 2020 complaint about building shaking/vibrating, though this seems to have been resolved by September 2024 when a vacate order was fully rescinded. While the building has made some progress in addressing basic health and safety requirements in recent years, the persistent occupancy-related violations and associated penalties represent a significant ongoing compliance challenge for the property.
