Augrented Insights Report for 402 Foster Avenue

The 4-story, 40-unit building at 402 Foster Avenue in Midwood, built in 1928 and currently owned by Moses Graus, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over the past two years, with the most significant being persistent heat and hot water system problems in late 2024 and throughout 2024, occurring in October and April of that year. The building has also faced various water-related issues, including sewage concerns (June 2024), plumbing problems (bathtub/shower) in both December 2024 and June 2025, and multiple heat/hot water outages during 2024.

In August 2024, multiple fire safety violations were recorded, including obstructions at fire escapes and concerns about various encumbrances. The property has shown some improvements in pest management, with bedbug reports showing no infestation from 2020 through 2024, though there was rat activity noted in August 2023 followed by a compliance pass in October 2023.

Recent inspections reveal some structural concerns, including a loose ceiling light fixture and water leak issues in the lobby area, as well as a violation for mold presence in the building's first-floor lobby. While the building has received multiple violation notices, the majority have been marked as closed, including various fire safety and maintenance issues. The most recent heating system concerns were documented through multiple 311 service calls, suggesting ongoing tenant discomfort related to building systems.
