The building has experienced recurring issues with rodent activity, with multiple complaints filed between 2022 and 2024, including several rat sightings and conditions attracting rodents. The most recent rodent-related complaints in 2024-2025 show a mix of passed inspections and recorded rat activity.
The property has also faced various maintenance challenges, including significant emergency issues in 2024 related to water leaks, ceiling plaster/paint, and unsanitary conditions, though these complaints were ultimately closed without violations being found. Historical records show concerns with gas, plumbing, and electrical systems between 2019 and 2021, including a period of electrical wiring complaints in early 2022 where inspectors were unable to gain access. The building's elevator system underwent inspections in 2019-2020, with violations issued for failure to correct defects, though these were dismissed following penalty payment. The property's bedbug reporting history indicates sporadic issues, with three units reported infested in 2022, though subsequent filings from 2023-2024 show no recorded infestations.
The building has maintained regular compliance with rodent inspections, passing multiple follow-up inspections between 2021 and 2025, with the most recent inspection in January 2025 showing compliance. Recent Department of Buildings records from 2023-2024 show violations related to energy benchmarking report filings, though these were subsequently dismissed. The building's management has received and responded to various complaints over the years, with records indicating both successful resolutions and instances where inspectors were unable to verify reported conditions. The property has active permits from 2020-2021, suggesting ongoing maintenance and compliance efforts related to building systems and safety requirements.
