The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues in recent years, with the most significant concerns focusing on plumbing and electrical systems. The property has multiple active ECB violations from 2023 related to electrical wiring problems in Apartment 21, including exposed wires and deteriorated insulation, with substantial penalties totaling $16,000.
The building's maintenance history shows persistent water-related issues throughout 2024-2025, including three water leak complaints between September and November 2024, and a recent heat and hot water complaint in June 2025. During 2024, the building underwent several inspections revealing multiple housing code violations, particularly in Apartment 21, including issues with kitchen ceiling and wall conditions, bathroom plumbing, and various maintenance concerns. The inspection and violation history also indicates past problems with safety devices, including smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector violations in Apartment 52 in September 2024.
The property has shown ongoing challenges with rodent activity, with multiple inspections between 2023 and 2025 indicating persistent rat activity, though baiting was applied in some cases.
