318 Schaefer Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237

The three-story, six-unit tenement at 318 Schaefer Street in Bushwick, owned by Candido Ceri, has been facing several concerning maintenance and safety issues in recent times. Most notably, there is an active pattern of violations related to the building's external low pressure inspection filings, with open violations on record from April 2023 through September 2024, indicating ongoing non-compliance with required safety inspections for four consecutive years (2019, 2020, 2022, and 2023).

In August 2024, the building experienced two emergency complaints through the Housing Maintenance Code system - one regarding cooking gas and another concerning heat and hot water issues, though the HPD inspection for the cooking gas complaint found no violations, and inspectors were unable to access the premises to verify the heat/hot water situation. The building's age and historical classification as a "New Law Tenement" suggest it is a structure that has been subject to various housing regulations over the years, but the recent pattern of inspection non-compliance and service complaints raises questions about the current maintenance standards being upheld.

While the cooking gas complaint was resolved without violations, the inability to verify the heat/hot water issue in August 2024 indicates potential access challenges for inspectors. The combination of multiple years of unfiled low pressure inspections and recent service complaints suggests a concerning trend in building maintenance oversight.
