The building has experienced recurring heating and hot water issues, particularly notable in winter months, with multiple emergency complaints filed between October 2023 and January 2024 regarding these essential services for both entire building and individual units. More recently, there have been two water leak incidents in 2024 (one classified as heavy flow and another as slow leak), with violations issued in September 2024 affecting the bathroom in Apartment 11.

The building has maintained an active rodent inspection compliance record, with regular inspections showing passed results and only one instance of rat activity noted in 2022. Safety systems maintenance has been addressed in early 2024, including repairs to the smoke detector and carbon monoxide detecting devices in Apartment 11. The property's maintenance history shows attention to various issues over time, including fire escape adjustments in 2021 and balcony maintenance in 2022.

Building management has actively responded to violations, as evidenced by the certification of multiple violations in October 2024 related to water leaks and bathroom conditions in Apartment 11. Notably, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations for the past several years (2019-2024), with no reports of infested or re-infested units. The Department of Heating Preservation has conducted regular inspections and follow-ups, with recent violations primarily concentrated in Apartment 11. While the building has faced recurring issues with basic services like heat and hot water, particularly during transitional seasons, it has generally demonstrated prompt attention to safety and compliance requirements as they arise, with recent improvements in building systems and maintenance practices.
