The building has experienced several maintenance and safety issues in recent years, most notably an ongoing rat infestation problem as evidenced by numerous bait application records and compliance inspections in 2025. The property has also faced recurring fire safety concerns, with fire escape inspection requests in late 2022 receiving no access response from HPD.
Apartment 32, located on the 6th floor, has been the focus of multiple maintenance violations and repairs, including issues with plaster surfaces, paint conditions, and water leaks identified in 2022-2023. The building experienced multiple pest control incidents between 2019-2020, with various HPD inspections revealing violations requiring correction. Recent inspections and violations from 2022-2023 have highlighted several safety and maintenance concerns, including lead paint hazards, defective self-closing doors, and window guard issues.
The building's heating system has required attention, with complaints about both central and apartment-specific heating issues recorded in 2018-2021. While there have been documented cases of bedbug infestations between 2019-2023, the most recent reports (2023-2024) show no current infestations. Elevator service complaints were filed in 2022, though inspections found no violations. The property management has received multiple HPD violations related to unsanitary conditions, particularly concerning pest control, and has been under scrutiny for building code compliance through ongoing inspections and violation proceedings.
