309 Schaefer Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237
309 Schaefer Street is a 3-story, 6-unit New Law tenement building located in Bushwick and owned by Jennifer Perez, dating back to 1906. The property has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water systems, particularly evident in 2025 with two emergency complaints in April regarding both apartment-specific and entire-building heat/hot water failures. The building has a documented history of water-related problems, with four separate heavy water leak complaints filed between December 2023 and March 2024, though inspections were unable to confirm the conditions due to access issues.
Violations were issued in May 2024 related to hot water provision in Apartment 2A and access issues to the basement boiler room. Historical maintenance records show similar recurring issues, with multiple heat/hot water complaints spanning from 2020 through 2025, and various violations including a 2020 citation for inadequate hot water supply in Apartment 2A and a leaking hot water tank in the cellar. The building has maintained an active rodent control program, passing inspections in 2012, 2022, 2024, and most recently in April 2025.
Regular bedbug reporting shows no infestations reported in the last five consecutive years, with the most recent filing in June 2025 indicating zero units affected or requiring treatment for the reporting period of 2023-2024. While the building's management has responded to numerous HPD complaints, access issues during inspections have been a recurring theme, with multiple cases throughout 2024 and 2025 where inspectors were unable to gain entry to verify reported conditions. Records also indicate various other maintenance matters including a 2016 violation regarding heating system access notice requirements and a 2017 complaint related to a bathroom ventilation issue in Apartment 3A, though these have been addressed according to violation closure dates.
