105 Vanderveer Street, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The 20-unit, 4-story building at 105 Vanderveer Street in Bushwick, owned by Charles Schwartz, has a documented history of moisture-related issues and unsanitary conditions over the past several years. The property, which dates back to 1903, has experienced multiple incidents of mold and water leakage problems between 2019 and 2022, with the most recent complaints involving unsanitary conditions related to pests in March 2022. During inspections, violations were found in 2021 related to water leaks, and in early 2020, multiple violations were issued regarding visible mold conditions in Apartment 1, covering approximately 5 square feet in three different rooms.

Earlier concerns of mold were also documented in Apartment 1A in 2018. The building has maintained a consistent rodent-free status based on regular inspections from 2016 through 2025, with the most recent inspections in April 2024 and April 2025 passing without issues. Notably, there have been no bedbug infestations reported in the past five years, with the most recent annual reports from 2021 through 2024 indicating zero cases in the building.

The building's maintenance history reveals ongoing challenges with moisture control and building maintenance, particularly during the 2019-2020 period when multiple mold-related complaints were filed. While many of these issues were addressed through violations and inspections, there remain some open violations from 2020 concerning mold conditions in Apartment 1. The property has undergone regular bedbug reporting requirements and passed all recent rodent inspections, suggesting improved pest management practices in recent years. The most recent complaints have been satisfied and closed, though there is a pattern of access issues during inspections in multiple years (2020, 2022) where violations or conditions could not be verified during the inspection process.
