Augrented Insights Report for 37 Schaefer Street

The three-story, six-unit tenement building at 37 Schaefer Street in Bushwick, built in 1912, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past five years. Notable concerns include recurring heating and hot water problems, with complaints documented in July 2022 and June 2021, though these were resolved promptly. The building has faced various plumbing and sanitary challenges, including issues with water supply, sewage, and pest infestations between 2021 and 2022, most of which were investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) with no violations found.

A concerning cluster of violations emerged in late 2020 and early 2021 related to improper gas line installations, inadequate sprinkler systems, and major plumbing issues, with penalties totaling over $25,000. More recent inspections have shown improvement, with no new violations since 2022 and successful rodent inspections in 2024 and 2025. The property has undergone several repairs and maintenance actions, including addressing electrical issues (no lighting) in early 2021 and various building systems concerns.

Two bedbug infestations were reported between 2017 and 2022, but the most recent filings from 2022 to 2024 show no current infestations. The building currently has six open violations related to a broken kitchen floor tile in apartment 2R and an unauthorized gate locking mechanism at the front entrance, both from March 2021. While there have been multiple emergency complaints and violations over the years, the property has demonstrated some recent improvements in maintenance response and issue resolution, with the most recent violations being relatively minor compared to past penalties.
