1815 Foster Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11230
Foster Arms Apartments, a 54-unit, 6-story building constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Selma Lalicic, has experienced numerous maintenance issues in recent years, particularly during 2024-2025. The building has ongoing water leakage problems, as evidenced by multiple complaints between 2024-2025, including heavy flow water leaks in September 2024. There are also concerning safety issues, including multiple instances of non-functioning window guards (most recently in June 2025), and violations related to smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.
The building has an active violation related to exterior wall maintenance from April 2024, with a penalty of $1,250, and a more recent violation issued in September 2024 for failure to file an external low-pressure inspection. Significant issues have been documented in Apartment 1C, including multiple lead-based paint violations from August 2024 requiring corrective action. The building has also faced various plumbing and maintenance challenges, with violations issued in 2024 for bathroom fixtures, toilets, and electrical systems.
Despite these issues, there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the building since at least 2019. The elevator and exterior maintenance compliance has been problematic, with multiple violations over the years related to failure to perform required inspections and file necessary reports, though some have been dismissed following subsequent compliance. Recent complaints in 2024-2025 suggest ongoing maintenance challenges, including paint/plaster issues and an inability to gain access for inspections on multiple occasions. While the building's age and history suggest typical wear and maintenance needs, the frequency and nature of recent complaints indicate ongoing challenges with building upkeep and safety compliance.
