The building has had a history of maintenance issues, with significant violations recorded in May 2019 primarily affecting apartment 3B, including problems with flooring, electrical outlets, plaster surfaces, and plumbing fixtures. Notably, these violations encompassed multiple categories such as flooring/stairs, electric, and paint/plaster, with some classified as Class A and B violations.

A carbon monoxide detector violation was also documented in 2019. The building experienced a rat sighting complaint in February 2022, though subsequent inspections by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene found no violations. The property has maintained an active bedbug monitoring record from 2018 through 2024, with no reported infestations in any dwelling units during this period.

Regular rodent inspections have been conducted, with the most recent passing inspection in March 2022. Two other notable complaints were filed: one regarding illegal hotel rooms in 2018 (closed due to insufficient information) and a sweep complaint in July 2020 (also closed with no violations found). The building's maintenance record shows a pattern of addressing violations, as evidenced by violation certifications, though some specific repair completion dates are not documented in the available records.
