Augrented Insights Report for 1611 Foster Avenue

1611 Foster Avenue is a 4-story New Law Tenement building located in Flatbush, containing 26 units and constructed in 1931, currently owned by Joseph Garvin. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with the most recent emergency complaint filed in October 2024 remaining unresolved. Between 2024 and 2022, there have been multiple reports of unsanitary mold conditions, though inspections consistently found no violations.

The building has also faced maintenance challenges, including flooring issues in 2024 and several violations related to public hall conditions, particularly during a June 2024 inspection revealing problems with the ceiling and fire-retardant plaster on the 1st and 4th stories. Notable historical issues include two instances in 2019 where decorative stone fell from the facade, prompting emergency repairs and a sidewalk shed installation, though these violations were ultimately dismissed. The property has maintained a positive record regarding pest control, with no recorded bedbug infestations in any of the annual reports from 2018 through 2024.

Building management has complied with most housing maintenance requirements, as evidenced by the certification of several violations in 2024, including repairs to public hall ceilings and walls. There was a significant structural complaint in 2019 regarding building shaking or vibrating, but this was resolved the same day. The building has experienced recurring heat system issues, with multiple HPD complaints between 2022 and 2024 noting temporary heat and hot water failures before service restoration. While the building has had various maintenance issues requiring attention, particularly regarding public areas and building systems, most concerns have been addressed through proper channels, with the exception of the current open heat/hot water complaint from October 2024.
