The building has faced multiple heat and hot water supply issues, with several complaints in 2025 regarding these essential services, though many were resolved or indicated restoration during inspections.

The elevator system has been a major concern, with multiple complaints throughout 2024-2025 indicating no alternate service during device outages, and related violations with penalties. The property has documented plumbing problems, including water supply issues and emergency situations requiring attention. The building's condition has been the subject of various Housing Maintenance Code violations, particularly in December 2024, affecting apartments 2G and 7B.

Exterior maintenance and structural concerns were highlighted in multiple Environmental Control Board violations in 2024, including issues with the building's sidewalk shed, which has been noted as having rotting components and presenting hazardous conditions. The building has also experienced recurring rodent activity, with multiple inspections showing evidence of rat activity in 2024-2025, though some inspections resulted in "passed" findings. Notable active violations include issues with the building's exterior walls, requiring attention to cracked masonry and deteriorated mortar joints, as well as various plumbing and sanitary conditions that have prompted multiple service requests through 311 and housing maintenance filings.
