The building faced multiple heat and hot water service complaints in early 2025 (January through February) affecting the entire building, though these were mostly closed without successful inspections due to access issues.
The property has an open violation from September 2024 regarding defective self-closing doors on the 1st-story fire door, and multiple violations from 2021 affecting apartment 2D, including issues with mold, wood flooring, wall surfaces, and various maintenance concerns. Historical records from 2018-2022 show various maintenance and compliance challenges, including facade maintenance issues resulting in ECB violations, elevator service complaints, and safety concerns about an improperly maintained gas dryer installation. The building has passed multiple rodent inspections in recent years, though a rat activity report was filed in June 2025.
Recent bedbug inspections from 2020-2024 show no reported infestations. The property has maintained regular inspection and permit activity, with several permits issued for plumbing and electrical work between 2019 and 2020. While some violations have been resolved, several remain open or were dismissed based on inspections showing no violations at the time.
