Augrented Insights Report for 245 Foster Avenue

The three-story residential building at 245 Foster Avenue in Kensington, owned by Rabbi Asher Friedman, was constructed in 1931 and currently contains one unit under the HEREAFTER CONVERTED CLASS A designation. The property has been facing ongoing regulatory challenges related to pest management, with open Class A Housing Maintenance Code violations recorded in 2024, 2023, 2022, and 2021 regarding the failure to file required annual bedbug reports with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

These violations, which have persisted for multiple years, indicate a recurring compliance issue with HPD reporting requirements. The building's service record also shows two 311 complaints in late 2021 regarding pool water issues, both of which were determined to be outside the jurisdiction of the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, though the appropriate regulatory authority for these concerns was not identified.

Additionally, there were several building-related complaints filed in September 2021 regarding site conditions and unauthorized work, including a complaint about work being performed without a permit in an occupied multiple dwelling. While these complaints were ultimately closed, they suggest potential concerns about construction oversight and safety during that period. The most recent Department of Buildings complaints from September 2021 and the ongoing bedbug report violations point to persistent regulatory non-compliance, with particular focus on health and safety oversight.
