The building has experienced several recurring maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing concerns being rodent activity and various repair needs. As of 2025, there have been multiple rodent-related complaints, including recent reports in March 2025 and ongoing baiting efforts in June 2025.

The building has also faced multiple sanitary and maintenance challenges, with closed complaints in 2024 citing issues such as water leaks, mold, pests, and electrical problems. Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2024 indicate specific issues in apartment GB related to mice infestation, circuit breaker panel cover, and plaster/paint conditions, while apartment 307 has documented violations regarding ceiling repair needs and safety device concerns. The building's history includes several concerning events that suggest ongoing maintenance challenges.

In 2023, there were complaints about building shaking/vibration, which resulted in a Partial Vacate Order, and issues with the boiler system. The property has faced facade maintenance concerns, with violations dating back to 2019 noting various exterior maintenance needs. More recently, in 2024, there was a failure to submit the required Cycle 9B report of critical examination documenting exterior wall conditions, resulting in a $1,250 penalty, and an active violation regarding failure to certify correction of immediately hazardous conditions. While there have been no documented bedbug infestations in recent years (2021-2025), the building's maintenance history suggests ongoing attention to various repair and maintenance issues is required, as evidenced by the frequency of service requests and housing maintenance code complaints.
