A 2024 inspection revealed exterior maintenance concerns, including cracks in brick masonry on the west elevation, particularly at the 4th and 7th floors, leading to active Environmental Control Board violations with associated penalties. The building has a documented pattern of infrastructure challenges, including boiler issues with multiple complaints about defective or inoperative equipment between 2021 and 2024. Facade maintenance has been a recurring concern, with violations related to self-closing doors, locked access to heating systems, and the need for timely facade inspection filings.
