Six-unit Bed-Stuy rental with ongoing administrative reporting lapses and surrounding street-level friction.
A six-unit Bed-Stuy walk-up owned by Joseph Schon since 2004. While physical maintenance complaints against the apartments themselves are sparse, management lets annual paperwork lapse repeatedly while the immediate block carries specific curb and air-quality signals. Three things to know:
The building carries eight open violations, all tied to missed paperwork. The building carries eight open code violations, but all eight stem from administrative lapses rather than physical hazards: four repeating notices for failing to file valid property registration statements, and four for missing annual bedbug reports. It reflects loose management bookkeeping rather than unit degradation.
Indoor air quality and waste calls pop up on the immediate block. Air quality and waste calls surface on the surrounding block, including two indoor air quality complaints and two industrial waste reports within three blocks over the last year. In dense walk-up corridors, airborne vapors and exhaust can bleed through open shafts or ground-level venting.
Parking and curb conflicts dominate the surrounding street level. Curb space near the building sees heavy daily conflict, led by 148 illegal parking calls within three blocks over the last year. Commercial overnight parking and posted sign violations make up most of the activity, alongside frequent blocked driveways.
