209 Schaefer Street, Brooklyn, NY 11207
209 Schaefer Street is a three-story, three-unit Class A residential building in Bushwick, constructed in 2005 and currently owned by Yitz Leb. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues, particularly during 2022 when multiple violations were recorded, including problems with pests (mice infestation in apartment 2), water leaks, electrical issues (wiring problems and power outages), and concerns about heat/hot water availability.
Four separate rodent-related incidents were reported in 2022, though subsequent rodent inspections in 2024 and 2025 showed no active infestation. The building faced complications in 2021 with multiple complaints regarding illegal conversion and occupancy issues, particularly involving the cellar space servicing apartment #1, which resulted in several Environmental Control Board violations. These violations included work done without proper permits and occupancy contrary to the Certificate of Occupancy, though these were eventually resolved.
Recent records from 2023 and 2024 show improved conditions with regular bedbug and rodent inspection filings indicating "0" infested units and successful eradication efforts. The most recent violation records from 2024-2025 suggest compliance with housing maintenance standards, including passing rodent inspections, though there remains an active DOB violation from 2021 regarding building facade damage from a vehicle impact that was dismissed in 2022. The building's management has demonstrated improved responsiveness to maintenance issues in recent years, with no new major violations reported since 2022 and regular updates to comply with bedbug reporting requirements.
