The property has experienced several significant incidents in recent years, with the most notable issues occurring in 2021 when there were multiple tenant safety inspections, an elevator service violation, and three environmental control board violations related to electrical work and re-shackling requirements.

Between September and November 2021, three tenants received Oath violations, and the building was also cited for illegal electrical work involving temporary lighting connections. These violations resulted in penalties totaling $2,660, though records indicate they were subsequently resolved. The elevator re-shackling violation from 2015 was documented in September 2021, generating a $310 penalty.

The building's maintenance history shows consistent compliance with rodent inspections, passing all required checks between 2010 and 2019. Bedbug reports from 2018 through 2024 indicate zero infestation incidents, suggesting effective pest management practices. The property has undergone various permitted work over the years, with multiple plumbing and electrical permits issued between 2018 and 2021, though one permit issuance in 2018-11-17 for Certificate of Occupancy inspection was noted as "Access Denied - 2nd Attempt." While the building has experienced recurring maintenance issues, particularly in 2021, recent records (2022-2024) show no significant violations, suggesting improved compliance with housing maintenance standards.
