Augrented Insights Report for 298 Schaefer Street

298 Schaefer Street is a three-story, six-unit New Law Tenement building located in Bushwick and owned by Manuel Balico since 1906. The property has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over the past two years, particularly concerning mold, with multiple violations recorded between July 2024 and August 2024 affecting apartments 1R1B and 3R.

Recent HPD inspections in May 2025 revealed multiple complaints regarding windows, ventilation systems, smoke detectors, and pests, though inspectors were unable to access the premises for proper evaluations. The building has an active open violation from 2024 regarding mold on an AC unit in apartment 3R and additional violations concerning plaster and paint conditions in both 1R1B and 3R. Of particular concern is the building's failure to maintain proper records and inspections for its external low-pressure systems, with violations issued from 2018-2023 remaining active as of September 2024.

While the property has demonstrated compliance in recent rodent inspections (most recently in April 2025), the history shows a pattern of insufficient response to housing maintenance code violations, as evidenced by multiple re-inspections and outstanding violations. The building's bedbug reports from 2020-2024 indicate no infestations during the specified periods, and previous window safety issues from 2021 have been resolved. Though there has been progress in addressing some maintenance issues through inspections and citations, the ongoing violations and recent service requests suggest persistent challenges in building upkeep.
