923 Foster Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11230

923 Foster Avenue, located in Kensington, is a 3-story, 3-unit residential building constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Kafayat Charagh. The property has a concerning pattern of open violations, primarily related to pest management compliance, with four consecutive annual citations (2021-2024) regarding failure to file required bedbug reports with HPD.

Additionally, significant health and safety concerns were documented in 2020, including two Class C violations related to lead paint hazard notifications and occupant safety, though these violations appear to remain open. The building has an extensive history of maintenance issues in the 2018-2019 period, particularly affecting the 3rd-floor apartment (3FL), including problems with window guards, loose kitchen cabinets, defective sink connections, and missing carbon monoxide detectors. Several complaints have been filed regarding illegal use of the property's front yard, specifically for parking storage of vehicles, including a commercial van with construction equipment, resulting in an active ECB violation with a $3,125 penalty, though the balance due is listed as $0.

Multiple curb cut complaints have been filed between 2019-2024, though inspections generally found no violations. The most recent building inspection in April 2024 noted the continuing bedbug report compliance issue, while previous years' inspections have shown persistent regulatory non-compliance. Despite some violations being formally closed, many open citations remain active, indicating ongoing regulatory compliance challenges at this property.
