Additionally, the building has accumulated numerous violations for failing to file required external low-pressure inspection reports between 2018-2023. The property has a documented history of rodent-related challenges, with the most recent complaint filed in October 2021 resulting in a DOHMH inspection that found no violations.

The building has also faced challenges with bedbug reporting compliance, receiving violations in 2021, 2022, and most recently in April 2024 for failing to submit required annual bedbug reports. Other notable issues include a violation for housekeeping maintenance documented in June 2021, which was addressed, and a complaint regarding electrical wiring in October 2021 where the inspector was unable to gain access for a final inspection. The building has demonstrated some level of responsiveness to inspections and complaints, as evidenced by the closure of various service requests and violations, though several critical maintenance issues remain outstanding as of April 2024.
