The building has multiple active violations regarding egress obstruction, with particularly concerning issues in 2024-2025 involving blocked emergency exits that resulted in ECB violations.

Recent rodent inspections show compliance (passed) in 2023 and 2024, with active rat activity noted in 2022.
