129 Schaefer Street, Brooklyn, NY 11207

129 Schaefer Street is a 4-story, 4-unit residential building in Bushwick, completed in 2017 and currently owned by Erez Levy. The building experienced several significant maintenance issues in 2023, most notably in April when there were multiple simultaneous complaints and violations regarding heat/hot water and cooking gas problems affecting both the entire building and individual apartments.

These emergency issues resulted in one specific violation for inadequate hot water at all fixtures in Apartment 1. The building's most recent complaints include a rodent sighting in May 2025 (though an inspection conducted that same month passed with minor violations) and a garbage/recycling storage issue reported in July 2023, which was investigated but resulted in no violations. Historical records indicate several regulatory violations in 2021 that were subsequently corrected, including issues with building entrance door security, interior plaster surfaces, and various safety posting requirements.

The property has maintained a consistent record of bedbug-free status, with no reported infestations in any of the annual reporting periods from 2019 to 2025. Regular rodent inspections have been conducted, with the most recent three (in 2022, 2024, and 2025) all passing without any significant findings, suggesting proactive pest management. The building's systems and maintenance have shown variability in performance, with some recurring issues in heating and hot water systems during 2023, though subsequent inspections indicate these problems were addressed, as evidenced by the lack of similar complaints in the most recent service requests.
