The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues throughout 2024, with multiple emergency complaints between February and April 2024, though inspections during some of these incidents were unable to gain access to all units. The building has documented maintenance and safety concerns, including an open violation as of June 2024 in apartment 1A regarding broken ceiling light fixtures and a previous violation in apartment 2A requiring hot water repairs.

Apartment 1B has several open violations from 2021 related to electrical, plumbing, and maintenance issues, including problems with outlet covers, cabinet doors, and leaky bathroom faucets, as well as a historical roach infestation violation from January 2021. The building has undergone various appliance-related issues, with multiple complaints about refrigerators in both 2023 and 2024, though no violations were issued in those cases. Recent infrastructure inspections show the building passed rodent inspections in 2022, 2023, and 2024, though there were reports of rat activity in late 2017.

The building's bedbug reporting history indicates one infestation in late 2024, with successful eradication, and no prior infestations reported since 2019. The property has a documented history of heat and hot water problems, with multiple emergency complaints suggesting inadequate building-wide systems. While some maintenance issues have been resolved, including various violations being certified as corrected, several open violations remain as of the latest inspections, primarily affecting apartments 1A and 1B.
