The building has experienced several maintenance and safety issues over the past few years, with the most concerning being a series of problems with entrance and vestibule doors between 2022 and 2023, including broken glass panes and defective self-closing mechanisms.

In May 2022, Apartment 2 received multiple violations regarding safety equipment, specifically for needing carbon monoxide detectors and smoke detectors, as well as issues with window mechanisms. The building also has a documented history of rodent-related challenges, with a significant complaint in 2020 leading to Department of Health involvement, though recent inspections from 2022 through 2025 have consistently passed rodent inspections, suggesting improvement in this area. The property has maintained regular bedbug reporting compliance from 2020 through 2025, with most recent reports for 2023-2024 showing zero infested or re-infested units, though there was one instance of a single infestation in 2018-2019 that was properly addressed.

Housing Maintenance Code violations have been addressed over time, with the most recent notable issue being a broken glass pane at the building entrance door identified in May 2023. The building has an active Department of Buildings violation as of September 2024, though specific details were not provided in the records. The property has shown some pattern of maintenance issues over the years, particularly regarding entryway infrastructure and safety equipment, but recent records suggest improvements in pest control and rodent management, with multiple consecutive passed rodent inspections from 2022 to 2025.
