However, there are still open violations from 2021 regarding safety equipment requirements in Apartment 3, including missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.

The property experienced plumbing issues in 2022 and 2023, with complaints about various fixtures including sinks and showers, though inspectors often reported being unable to gain access or finding no violations.
