Augrented Insights Report for 226 Schaefer Street

226 Schaefer Street is a three-story, six-unit residential building in Bushwick, built in 1910 and currently owned by Scott Rosenthal. The property has experienced recurrent pest issues, particularly with rodents, as evidenced by multiple 311 complaints and Department of Health inspections in 2024 and 2025. Most recently, in May 2025, there were reports of rodent activity and unsanitary garbage storage conditions.

The building has documented safety concerns, including a broken window guard reported in December 2024, and various maintenance issues such as flooring problems, mold, and door-related defects noted in 2024. Notably, apartment 3L was found to have multiple violations in 2024 including lead paint hazards, pest infestations, and required maintenance issues, though some were certified as corrected by May 2025. The building's history includes several significant events related to safety and habitability. In 2021, there were violations concerning egress and exit passageway obstructions, and in 2019-2021, there are multiple active ECB violations related to building maintenance.

There have been periodic inspections for rodent activity throughout 2023-2025, with the most recent confirming rat activity in March 2025. The property has complied with bedbug reporting requirements, showing no infestations from 2022 through 2024. Historical complaints from 2018-2021 include concerns about building stability and illegal conversions, though many inspections resulted in no violations being found or unable to gain access for verification. The building has an active ECB violation regarding failure to certify correction on immediately hazardous conditions, dating back to 2021, with penalties totaling $6,250.
