Augrented Insights Report for 224 Schaefer Street

224 Schaefer Street is a 3-story, 6-unit New Law Tenement building located in Bushwick, built in 1910 and currently owned by David Eisen. The building has experienced recurring issues with basic services and safety standards over recent years. Between 2018 and 2020, there were multiple complaints about heat and hot water issues, unsanitary conditions (including pests), and safety concerns such as broken window guards.

The building faced significant structural and occupancy-related violations in 2018, particularly regarding illegal cellar apartment use, which resulted in multiple Environmental Control Board violations due to non-compliance with correction orders and penalties totaling $10,625. These violations indicated unauthorized occupancy contrary to the Certificate of Occupancy, though most were resolved by 2020. More recently, from 2022-2025, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs, with zero reported infestations in the last three years.

However, rodent activity has been a persistent issue, with multiple inspections between 2022 and 2025 showing rat activity, though the most recent inspections in 2025 passed. Two 311 service requests from 2020 regarding heat/hot water and unsanitary conditions were closed due to lack of access for inspection. The most recent bedbug report from June 2025 and the 2024 rodent inspections suggest improved conditions, though the building's history of violations and service complaints indicates ongoing maintenance challenges.
