202 Foster Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11230

202 Foster Avenue, a 3-story, 8-unit residential building in Midwood owned by Michael Malek, has generally maintained good conditions since its construction in 1999. The building has consistently met its bedbug reporting requirements, with all eight annual reports from 2019 through 2024 showing zero infested or eradicated units, indicating effective pest management and compliance with NYC Housing Maintenance Codes.

While there were two bedbug reporting violations noted in 2021 and 2022, these were promptly addressed and appear to be isolated incidents. The building underwent rodent inspections in 2015-2016 and 2018, with initial inspections in 2015 and 2018 resulting in failures, though subsequent compliance inspections showed passing results.

More recently, in 2024, there were two complaints investigated by the Department of Buildings—one regarding falling debris and another concerning unpermitted work in a multiple dwelling—though both were closed with no violations warranted at the time of inspection. A permit for exterior work (EW) was successfully issued in March 2020 through job number 321986446, demonstrating the owner's commitment to maintaining the building's structure. The absence of any current violations or recurring issues suggests the building is being properly maintained, with the most recent bedbug report (December 2024) continuing the trend of zero affected units over the previous year.
