Notably, there are three open violations related to unsanitary conditions since May 2025, focusing on pests and garbage issues.
The building has a documented history of heating and hot water problems, with multiple emergency complaints in early 2025 regarding inadequate heat and hot water supply, particularly affecting apartments 5A and 1B. Inspection records from late 2024 show ongoing pest control requirements, including open violations for roach infestations in apartments 3A and 1B.

Additionally, there have been persistent rodent activity concerns, with multiple inspections and bait applications recorded between December 2024 and July 2025, though the most recent DOHMH inspections show rat activity as of July 2025.
