Most concerning are the electrical wiring issues reported in September 2024, though no violations were warranted upon inspection.
The building has undergone multiple inspections for Local Law 188 compliance in 2024, with one remaining active, and experienced recurring violations for failure to file annual bedbug reports between 2021-2022, though recent filings (2022-2024) indicate no reported infestations.
