The building's ownership has faced scrutiny regarding various code compliance matters, as evidenced by multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations and Department of Buildings complaints, though many of these have been closed following required corrections. The property has undergone regular inspections, with varying results, and appears to have addressed many past violations, though new issues continue to arise.
