Most notably, there was a heavy water leak incident in July 2022, which required Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) intervention and was resolved within a few days.
The building currently faces multiple open Housing Maintenance Code violations related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports, with these violations spanning from 2021 through 2024. The property has also undergone rigorous rodent inspections, with the most recent inspections in 2025 showing passing results, though there was evidence of rat activity noted in July 2023 and September 2023.
