302 Schaefer Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237
The three-story, six-unit tenement building at 302 Schaefer Street in Bushwick, owned by Octavio Jimenez and constructed in 1906, has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years. Of particular concern is an open Class C housing maintenance code violation from December 2024 regarding defective self-closing doors in 2R, which was issued alongside a now-resolved Class B violation for a defective smoke detector in the same apartment.
There are also active Class A violations from 2024 requiring painting of the ceiling at the bulkhead in the third-story public hall stairs, and from 2023 requiring the filing of annual bedbug reports for multiple years, dating back to 2021. The building has an outstanding Department of Buildings violation from November 2019 concerning the failure to file the 2017 boiler inspection report.
On a more positive note, the building has passed multiple rodent inspections in recent years, with the most recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 showing compliance. Previous inspections from 2019, 2018, 2012, and others also demonstrate generally good rodent control conditions, despite a failed inspection in March 2019 for "Other Reasons." While the building has maintained reasonable rodent control according to inspection results, the recent pattern of open code violations, particularly regarding safety features and maintenance requirements, suggests ongoing attention is needed to building upkeep and regulatory compliance.
