Additionally, there is an active elevator service complaint as of June 2025, following several prior complaints about the single-device elevator system. The building has a documented history of maintenance violations and pest management challenges. According to 2024-2025 data, there were previous rodent infestations (as indicated by multiple bait application records) and historical issues with mold, water leaks, and various housing maintenance code violations in specific units like 3A, 3B, and 5B. Violations from 2024-2025 include problems with smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, self-closing doors, and various environmental control board violations regarding emergency exits, illegal signage, and other regulatory matters.

The building's management has faced penalties for various violations, with some active fines remaining as of April 2025. The property demonstrates occasional bedbug issues, with one documented case in 2021-2022, though subsequent reports for 2022-2024 indicate no new infestations. Multiple inspections for rodent activity have occurred regularly in 2024-2025, with consistent bait application, suggesting ongoing pest management efforts are in place. The building's age (constructed in 1910) and nature as an Old Law Tenement contribute to the notable number of maintenance requests and violations, though many issues appear to be addressed through the 311 complaint system or resolved through inspection processes.
