The 6-story, 504-unit building at 3505 Foster Avenue in East Flatbush, owned by Christian Ortiz, has experienced significant maintenance challenges in recent months (2024-2025). The property has recurring pest issues, with multiple complaints about sanitary conditions and pests reported through 311 services between May and June 2025, indicating an ongoing infestation problem. The building also has numerous unresolved maintenance issues, including water leaks, appliance malfunctions, and safety concerns such as non-functioning smoke and carbon monoxide detectors reported as emergency violations in June 2025.

The elevator system has been a recurring concern, with multiple complaints between 2019 and 2024 about single device operation and no alternate service. Recent inspections and violations from late 2024 showed several issues requiring attention, including problems with self-closing doors, water leaks, and hot water availability in units 3G and 6E. The building's maintenance history reveals persistent issues with infrastructure and systems, including elevator problems, plumbing concerns, and pest control challenges.

Although there were multiple bedbug reports between 2023-2024, the most recent reports (2024-2025) show no current infestations. The building has undergone some remediation efforts, with several violations marked as "resolved," including elevator maintenance, electrical issues, and facade repairs. However, the property has consistently failed rodent inspections in 2025, indicating ongoing challenges with pest management that require continued monitoring and attention.
