292 Covert Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237

292 Covert Street is a 3-story, 6-unit residential building located in Bushwick, built in 1906 and classified as a New Law Tenement, currently owned by Joseph Tavares. The building has experienced several notable maintenance issues over the years, with the most recent violations primarily related to administrative requirements rather than direct health or safety concerns.

In 2023, violations were issued for failure to file 2020 and 2021 external low-pressure inspections, though these were subsequently dismissed by the Department of Buildings. Between 2021 and 2024, the building received three consecutive notices of violation regarding annual bedbug reporting requirements, though current bedbug filings from 2022 through 2025 show no reported infestations or instances of eradication, indicating successful resolution of the initial infestation problems from 2020-2021 when six units were affected. The building's safety systems appear to be well-maintained, with passed rodent inspections recorded in 2022, 2024, and 2025.

A notable infrastructure issue was documented in 2018, when a violation was issued for inadequate lighting at the front entranceway, though this was corrected and certified in July 2018. The property has maintained consistent compliance with rodent control requirements over the past decade, with all recent inspections passing. While the building has faced some administrative challenges regarding documentation and reporting requirements, particularly in 2023 and 2024, these appear to be resolved and do not indicate ongoing health or safety concerns.
