222 Schaefer Street, Brooklyn

    A three-unit Bushwick rowhouse where street-level activity outpaces internal building issues.

    A three-family Bushwick rowhouse built in 1899 where internal tenant complaints are light, but sidewalk conditions and surrounding block noise dominate the local footprint. Three things to know:

    Open violations stem from missing paperwork, not broken systems. The property carries four open code violations, but all four are Class A administrative notices for unfiled annual bedbug reports stretching from 2023 through 2026. There are zero open hazardous or immediately hazardous physical violations on file.

    Sidewalk friction pairs with occasional indoor air quality reports. Within three blocks, neighbors logged six indoor air quality calls alongside 11 encampment calls and four dirty condition reports tied directly to this stoop area. Air quality calls concentrated in spring 2026, signaling potential fume or riser drift from street level.

    Block activity brings heavy party noise and curb friction. Within three blocks, residents logged 355 residential noise calls over the past 12 months—led by 236 loud music and party calls—along with 312 illegal parking calls, where blocked hydrants accounted for 156 of the total.
