319 Schaefer Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237
319 Schaefer Street is a 6-unit, 3-story residential building in Bushwick, constructed in 1906 and currently owned by Pearline Minto. The building has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water, with documented complaints in both November and December 2024 affecting the entire building.
These service requests were eventually resolved, though the December inspection found no heat and hot water present at the time of inspection. The property currently has several open violations from December 2024, including blocked fire escape egress due to flower pots on multiple floors (second and third stories), and multiple open violations from November 2024 related to safety notifications that need to be posted, including carbon monoxide detector requirements, gas leak procedures, and smoke detector requirements.
The building's mechanical systems have also presented challenges, with a Department of Buildings (DOB) violation recorded in November 2024 regarding an improperly installed gas burner, resulting in a $12,500 penalty. Historical records show multiple active violations from June 2023 for failure to file external low-pressure inspections for the years 2018 through 2021. While the building has generally passed rodent inspections in recent years, with the most recent inspections in 2025 and 2024 showing compliance, a failure was noted in 2021 for "Other Reasons." The property appears to have a pattern of maintenance and compliance issues, particularly regarding heating systems, safety notifications, and building code compliance, with the most recent violations suggesting ongoing challenges with both building systems and safety equipment maintenance.
