Recent reviews for 238 Schaefer Street, Brooklyn reveal a mix of positives and significant concerns. Tenants appreciate the spacious apartments, private backyard, access to the roof, and proximity to transport. Neighbors are generally described as kind and considerate, and some units are well kept.

Average Living Experience, horrible landlord

Pros

Spacious rooms, private backyard and access to roof, affordable rent

Cons

Awful landlord who you have to hound to do basic maintenance to the apartment. Very greedy, likes to scam and also raises rent without doing any updates to the apt.
