The property currently has several active Department of Buildings (DOB) violations, including failure to file the 2023 external low-pressure inspection and a citation from November 2024 regarding door repairs affecting a fire door.
The building's mechanical systems have shown persistent issues, as evidenced by multiple HPD complaints in 2025 regarding various maintenance problems.
