AI summary · updated June 2026

The three-unit, two-story building at 9509 Foster Avenue in Canarsie, owned by Ivan Forrest, was constructed in 1935 and is classified as a converted Class A building. The property has experienced minimal pest-related issues over the past several years, with the most recent bedbug reporting period (2023-2024) showing no infestations, and consistently reporting zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units since 2022. While two Housing Maintenance Code violations were recorded in 2021 and 2022 regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports, these violations are now closed, and subsequent annual filings through 2024 have shown compliance with reporting requirements, with no reported infestations during the specified periods.

The building's recent history shows a pattern of consistent monitoring and reporting of bedbug activity, with the property demonstrating effective management of potential infestations since the violations were addressed. All bedbug reports from 2022 to 2024 have indicated zero units affected, suggesting successful pest management practices. The only historical code violations on record pertained specifically to reporting requirements rather than active infestations or other habitability concerns, and these issues appear to have been resolved promptly through proper documentation of the property's bedbug status.
