The property has experienced ongoing maintenance challenges, with particularly notable issues in 2021-2022 and more recent concerns in 2023-2025. Between 2021-2022, there were multiple emergency complaints including heat and hot water issues (both building-wide and apartment-specific), plumbing problems, and safety concerns regarding smoke detectors and door/window conditions.

Apartment 2 had documented pest infestations in January 2022, while Apartment 1RW experienced various maintenance issues in August 2021, including problems with plumbing fixtures, electrical outlets, and surfaces requiring repairs. The building has faced persistent rodent control challenges, with multiple inspections in 2023 and 2024 indicating rat activity, though some inspections recorded "Passed" status or bait application. Notable historical violations include a 2018 ECB violation regarding false certification related to a permit and a 2018 plumbing violation involving unpermitted work that led to gas service shutdown.

The property has maintained a consistent bedbug-free record since 2019, with no reported infestations in the past six years. Recent rodent control efforts have resulted in inspections showing both active infestations and successful bait applications, indicating ongoing pest management activities. While many past violations have been closed and certified, the building continues to face periodic maintenance issues, particularly regarding heat/hot water systems and pest control.
