Top insights
- More open HPD violations than ~93% of buildings in this ZIP (207 open)
- 54 open hazardous (Class C) violations
- Built before 1939 (city records: 1931) — likely subject to NYC lead-paint rules
- Rent-stabilized: 7 of 55 units
A difference between the DHCR rent-stabilized count and the PLUTO total is common and does not, on its own, indicate a violation: units can leave rent stabilization legally, the two datasets count units differently, some units may be non-residential, and a registration can be filed incompletely. To check your own apartment, see how to request your rent history from DHCR.

Open in Google Street View ↗
- City records show 207 open HPD violations, 54 immediately hazardous (Class C) at this building. Ask which are still unresolved in the unit and the landlord’s timeline to clear them.
- The oldest open violation on record dates to 1995 — why has it stayed open this long, and is it in or near this unit?
- DHCR’s most recent registration lists 7 rent-stabilized units here. Ask whether this specific unit is one of them, and ask the landlord for its legal regulated rent and lease history.
- Confirm the condition behind the most recent open violation was actually repaired, not just marked closed: Properly repair the source and abate the evidence of a water leak at ceiling.
- Confirm in person that the immediately-hazardous (Class C) conditions — typically heat, hot water, leaks, mold or pests — are genuinely fixed, not just marked closed.
2913 Foster Avenue sits in Brooklyn, ZIP 11226. The closest subway is Newkirk Av-Little Haiti (2,5) (2-minute walk), served by the 2 and 5 lines.
Building Condition
Oldest open violation: September 1995 · Most recent: May 2026. HPD marks a violation open until it is certified as corrected, so an old date can mean an unresolved condition or a repair that was never certified.

13 open lead-paint hazard violations on record (most recent 2008). These are HPD violations recorded against the building — not a test of any specific apartment.
1 earlier hazard cited and remediated.
Under NYC Local Law 1 (Admin Code §27-2056.5), lead paint is presumed present in common areas and in apartments where a child under 6 resides, in multiple dwellings built before 1960 (this building: built 1931). The presumption stands unless the owner obtained a lead-free or lead-safe exemption from HPD. Those exemption records aren’t published as open data, so we can’t confirm one either way.
