The building has experienced several maintenance issues in recent months, with multiple open complaints as of May 2025. These include concerns about paint and plaster deficiencies on walls, ceilings, and door frames, along with plumbing issues related to water supply and an open mold complaint.

In addition, there are recent complaints about floor conditions. Earlier in 2025, there were also heat and hot water problems, though some of these complaints were marked as duplicates. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of heating and hot water issues, with violations documented in December 2023 regarding inadequate heat and hot water supply in Apartment 2B. The property has maintained relatively good rodent control, with passing inspections in 2023 and 2025, though there were reports of rat activity in both September 2023 and September 2024.

Notably, there have been no documented bedbug infestations in recent years, as shown by the bedbug reporting records from 2019 through 2025. The building's elevator system has been consistently maintained, with only one minor emergency violation recorded in 2023 regarding elevator access, which was subsequently resolved. The property has undergone several routine inspections and maintenance checks, with various violations related to heating systems, hot water supply, and general maintenance. While many historical violations have been resolved, the current open complaints in 2025 indicate ongoing maintenance challenges that the property management is addressing.
