321 Schaefer Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237
Located in Bushwick, 321 Schaefer Street is a 3-story, 6-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1906 and owned by Joseph Greenfield. The building has experienced persistent maintenance issues over the past several years, with the most recent incident occurring in January 2025 involving inadequate heat and hot water, though inspectors were unable to access the affected apartments for verification. A notable cluster of maintenance issues occurred in June 2022, including violations related to flooring and doors, along with multiple complaints about plumbing, heavy water flow, unsanitary conditions involving pests, and various door-related problems.
The building's systems and infrastructure appear to be in need of ongoing attention, as evidenced by several Housing Maintenance Code violations regarding fire escape accessibility, door functionality, and safety features, most recently documented in June 2024. Despite these challenges, there have been some positive developments in building maintenance. The property has maintained a clean record for bedbug infestations since 2022, with no reported cases in the past three years.
Additionally, recent rodent inspections in 2022, 2024, and 2025 have passed without issues. Historical maintenance records show occasional appliance-related complaints, including issues with refrigerators and electric ranges in 2020, though these were addressed without violations. The building's emergency violations, including those related to self-closing doors and fire escape functions, were certified as corrected in 2024, indicating responsive management to some of the more critical safety concerns.
