1005 Foster Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11230

The three-story, three-unit building at 1005 Foster Avenue in Kensington, owned by Monjur Kader, has experienced several notable issues in recent years, particularly regarding compliance and safety regulations. Most concerning is the property’s ongoing failure to file required annual bedbug reports with the NYC Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) between 2021 and 2024, for which three separate Class A violations remain open as of April 2024.

While the building passed a rodent inspection in July 2023 and a rat sighting complaint from June 2023 resulted in no violations, the property has seen multiple complaints regarding unauthorized work in occupied multiple dwellings, with inspectors consistently unable to gain access during attempts in 2021-2024. More recent developments indicate zoning and parking-related concerns, including an illegal curb cut and unauthorized off-street parking usage that led to violations in November 2024, though these have since been resolved with no penalties imposed.

The building's historical records show relatively few issues, with past bedbug reports (2018-2020) indicating zero infested units. Between 2019 and 2020, there was one complaint about an illegal advertising sign, which was found to have no violations upon inspection. While the property has various violations on record, most recent issues appear to be administrative in nature rather than directly impacting resident safety or comfort, though the persistent bedbug reporting violation warrants attention in considering the building's maintenance track record.
