The property has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, with the most significant concerns emerging in 2024. There are currently multiple open violations affecting apartment 4, including problems with the roof causing leaks in the private hallway, defective plaster and paint surfaces in both the hallway and kitchen, and issues with smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.

The building has also faced repeated ventilation system problems, with both HPD and DOHMH inspections in 2024 noting air quality concerns that resulted in violations.

The property's maintenance history shows a pattern of ongoing infrastructure challenges, particularly affecting the fourth-floor apartment.

While the building has maintained a good record during rodent inspections, with all inspections from 2018 through 2025 passing, it has struggled with various repair needs, evident in the multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations and service requests. Recent bedbug reports from 2025 and 2024 show no infestations, indicating effective pest management. The building's complaint history reveals a mix of resolved and ongoing issues, with particular attention needed to address the open violations related to safety systems and building infrastructure, including deteriorating interior surfaces and various utility systems. The property has also had multiple instances of water-related issues, including slow leaks and plumbing problems, as documented in various service requests and violations.
