220 Schaefer Street, Brooklyn, NY 11207

220 Schaefer Street is a two-family, two-story converted Class A building located in Bushwick, built in 1899 and currently owned by Raymond Malayeri. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past two years, most notably in February 2023 when multiple violations were issued following complaints about power outages and heat/hot water problems affecting the entire building. Inspections revealed inadequate electrical service and water supply issues, particularly affecting Apartment 2 on the first floor.

More recent building violations from April 2024 indicate the failure to file annual bedbug reports, while several open violations from February 2023 remain active, including problems with electrical service in public areas and a broken skylight in the second-story public hall. The building's maintenance history shows recurring infrastructure challenges, with various complaints logged between 2022-2024 regarding heating systems, plumbing issues, and electrical problems. Notable events include complaints about building shaking (2022), and reports of rat activity (2024) and debris issues (2025).

However, recent rodent inspections in March and April 2025 showed compliance with health standards, suggesting some improvement in pest control efforts. The property appears to have maintained a pest-free record according to bedbug filings for the periods ending October 2023 and October 2024, with no reported infestations or eradications during these periods. The building's permit history shows several inspection attempts in 2022 where inspectors were unable to gain access, and there was a complaint about illegal conversion in March 2023.
