113 Schaefer Street, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The two-family residence at 113 Schaefer Street in Bushwick, owned by Andrew Kane, has experienced a notable series of pest-related issues over the past few years. Most concerning is the recent pattern of rodent control challenges, with failed inspections recorded in April and June 2025, following a previous successful inspection in April 2024, and with the property having passed initial inspections in 2012 and 2022.

This raises significant health and safety concerns for current and prospective tenants. On the bedbug front, the most recent report for the period ending October 2024 shows no reported infestations or treatment attempts, though this could potentially indicate a lack of required reporting rather than confirmation of an absence.

The building, a two-story structure built in 1915, is nearly 110 years old and has maintained its original configuration as a 2-family house, consisting of two residential units. While the most recent pest reports show no current bedbug issues, the frequency and recent nature of the rodent control failures suggest an ongoing challenge with maintaining proper sanitation and pest management standards in the building. While historical inspection records from 2012-2022 show proper compliance with rodent control requirements, the recent pattern of violations indicates a troubling shift in maintenance conditions that warrants attention.
