Augrented Insights Report for 168 Covert Street

168 Covert Street is a two-family, two-story building located in Bushwick, Brooklyn, that was constructed in 1925 and contains three units. The property experienced significant events between 2019-2025, most notably a serious fire in January 2020 that caused extensive damage to the roof framing and party wall, requiring subsequent repairs and several permits throughout 2020-2024.

The building's recent history has been marked by multiple Department of Buildings (DOB) violations related to construction activities, including work without proper permits and continuing work during stop work orders in 2020-2021, though many of these violations have since been resolved or dismissed. An active ECB violation remains as of 2024 regarding an expired temporary construction fence that has accumulated a penalty of $3,125. The property has undergone several construction and maintenance activities requiring permits, with the most recent permits issued in August and September 2024.

The building's maintenance record shows a pattern of construction-related complaints between 2020-2024, with issues ranging from after-hours work to inadequate fencing. Notably, there were also significant construction site safety concerns documented in 2019, including problems with earth removal, wall cracking, and failure to perform required inspections during excavation work, resulting in multiple violations with substantial penalties. Despite these challenges, the building has consistently passed rodent inspections in 2012, 2022, 2024, and 2025, indicating good pest management practices.
