2105 Foster Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11210

2105 Foster Avenue, a 4-story, 36-unit New Law tenement building in Flatbush owned by Ronald Goldberg and built in 1931, has experienced several concerning maintenance issues over the past two years (2023-2025). Most recently, in November 2023, there were complaints about heat and hot water issues affecting the entire building, though inspection access was not granted. Earlier in 2023, multiple violations were documented during inspections, including problems with fire safety equipment, such as defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in Apartment 21, and various maintenance issues in common areas including public hall ceilings, stair landing floor drains, and doors.

The building has also faced recurring sanitary issues, with multiple reports of garbage and recycling storage problems in July 2023. Other maintenance concerns included slow water leaks, plumbing issues, and complaints about the intercom system and various appliances. The property underwent a significant inspection in May 2024, resulting in multiple violations being documented and subsequently certified as corrected, including ceiling repair requirements and fire safety improvements.

While there have been no bedbug reports since the 2021-2022 period (when there was one confirmed case), the building's history shows prior rodent inspection failures in 2017 and 2018, though these issues appear to have been resolved. The most recent bedbug filings (2023-2025) indicate no current infestations. The building's recent history demonstrates persistent maintenance challenges, particularly regarding basic services like heat and hot water, as well as issues related to building safety systems and general repairs.
