Augrented Insights Report for 2015 Foster Avenue

The 60-unit, 6-story building at 2015 Foster Avenue in Flatbush, owned by Alan Shamah, has experienced numerous maintenance issues over the past year. Most notably, in June 2025, the building faced multiple violations related to unsanitary conditions, including problems with garbage/recycling storage, pest infestations, mold, and violations concerning door and window frames.

These recent complaints, along with recurring rodent activity documented through monthly inspections in 2024-2025, suggest ongoing challenges with building maintenance and sanitation. Earlier violations from 2024 highlighted issues in multiple apartments, including mold in Apartment 12, electrical problems, and various maintenance needs in Apartments 56 and 67. The building's infrastructure has also exhibited concerning patterns, particularly with the elevator system, which has generated multiple complaints about single-device operation and lack of alternate service, with active complaints logged in 2025.

Historical records show persistent elevator maintenance issues and safety concerns, including a 2019 violation for not filing necessary elevator maintenance documentation. Other notable past violations include electrical wiring problems in 2019, an illegal conversion issue in 2018 involving unauthorized apartment modifications, and fire escape maintenance concerns. While the building has maintained a bedbug-free record for several years, the combination of recent mold, rodent, and infrastructure maintenance issues suggests ongoing challenges with building upkeep and resident comfort.
