216 Schaefer Street, Brooklyn, NY 11207
216 Schaefer Street is a 6-unit, 3-story New Law Tenement building located in Bushwick, constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Kl Schaefer Realty LLC. The building has experienced recurring water-related issues, evidenced by multiple slow leak complaints between 2023 and 2024, with the most recent water leak complaint recorded in December 2023 remaining uninspected due to access issues. The property has also faced various maintenance challenges, including mold and unsanitary conditions in late 2023, which were inspected without violations being issued.
A significant cluster of complaints was recorded in November 2023, including issues with walls, ceilings, and paint/plaster conditions. The building's violation history reveals concerning conditions between 2020-2021 in Apartment 3R, involving heat supply, hot water, and window function problems, along with a C-Class violation for a CO detector issue in 2020. While the bedbug reporting shows consistent filings between 2019-2025 with zero infestations reported, indicating proper management of this issue, there were confirmed rodent activities noted in early 2023, with multiple bait applications recorded throughout 2023.
More recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 have passed, suggesting improvements in pest control measures. The building has registered multiple housing maintenance code complaints between 2023-2024, including issues with ventilation systems and door frames, though most were closed without violations. The property's maintenance challenges appear persistent, particularly regarding water-related issues and interior surface conditions, despite some improvements indicated by recent inspections.
