There was a concerning egress issue reported in 2021 regarding locked/blocked fire escapes, which resulted in violations, while an Environmental Control Board violation from 2021 with a $6,250 penalty regarding fire escape maintenance remains active. The building's management has also faced challenges with maintaining proper building safety notifications, as evidenced by multiple violations noted in 2019 regarding missing safety signs and notices on crucial topics like carbon monoxide detection and gas leak procedures.
