The property has undergone several significant inspections and faced multiple violations, particularly regarding building systems and safety. In late 2024, multiple serious violations were recorded concerning gas lines in the laundry room, with active Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations totaling over $25,000 in penalties. Previous years' violations include concerns about illegal conversions, elevator problems, and building facade issues.
The building has maintained generally good rodent control compliance since 2019, with most inspections passing, though there was one rat activity report in 2021. Bedbug reports from 2020-2021 indicated no infestations. The property has shown some pattern of food safety violations, with several food poisoning complaints recorded between 2019 and 2025, though most were determined to be isolated incidents.
