Augrented Insights Report for 2720 Foster Avenue

The 48-unit, 6-story apartment building at 2720 Foster Avenue in East Flatbush, built in 1931 and currently owned by Moses Eckstein, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there have been multiple heating and hot water complaints in early 2025, with violations issued in March 2025 for heat problems. The elevator maintenance continues to be a significant concern, with a recent violation in June 2025, following multiple complaints about elevator issues.

The building has faced plumbing challenges, evidenced by water supply complaints in June and April 2025, and there is a documented history of pest problems, with multiple pest-related complaints filed in June 2025. Looking at historical data, the building has maintained a problematic pattern with its elevator system, as shown by multiple Department of Buildings complaints about having a single device with no alternate service, and various elevator maintenance violations. Security has also been an issue, with multiple violations regarding door locks and entry systems documented between late 2023 and early 2024.

The property has had documented concerns with unauthorized conversions, with four illegal conversion complaints filed between September 2023 and May 2024, although inspections could not be completed due to access issues. A significant violation from December 2023 noted an obstruction of fire escape egress. The building's environmental control board violation from August 2023 mentioned several safety issues including a misaligned cab mirror, escape hatch switches, expired fire extinguisher, and basement access problems, though this was resolved with no penalties imposed.
