The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues, with the most recent concerns centered around a damp spot/water leak reported in February 2025 that remains open, and a building-wide heat/hot water problem in December 2024. The building has experienced multiple electrical lighting issues in mid-2024, with inspections conducted but no violations issued.
A significant health concern emerged in mid-2024 regarding construction lead dust affecting both common areas and apartments, with active violations still in progress as of May 2024. The property has a history of code violations and maintenance challenges, including multiple housing maintenance code violations in 2024 requiring various repairs and improvements. In 2019-2020, several serious violations were recorded regarding building safety, including non-compliant emergency exit lighting, fire stopping issues, and unauthorized occupancy of a basement apartment.
The building has undergone multiple inspections and investigations related to rodent activity between 2021-2022, with some periods showing rat activity followed by compliance passes. Recent building inspections in 2024 revealed multiple violations related to public hall maintenance, including inadequate paint conditions across all stories, and a notable instance of excessive hole penetrations in the basement identified in May 2024. The Department of Buildings has documented various violations between 2019-2024 regarding unauthorized work, building maintenance, and failure to properly certify corrections of hazardous conditions. While there have been no reported bedbug infestations in recent years (2024-2025), the building's maintenance history suggests ongoing attention to infrastructure and safety systems is required.
