The building has experienced persistent maintenance issues, particularly regarding heating and hot water systems, with multiple complaints documented between February and November 2024, including two emergency complaints in November 2024 concerning both apartment-specific and building-wide heat/hot water problems. More recent issues include ceiling paint/plaster problems and door frame concerns as of June 2025, with violations issued that require the owner's correction within a specified timeframe.
The building has documented rodent activity, with inspections in 2024 and early 2025 showing ongoing issues, and health violations noted in November 2024 regarding cockroach infestations and a locked boiler room access violation. Significant maintenance concerns have been documented in recent years, particularly focusing on a single apartment (1D) following a November 2024 inspection that revealed multiple violations including inadequate hot water, pest infestations, mold conditions, and missing safety devices. Remarkably, the building had a history of heating system complaints in early 2024, with multiple instances of inadequate heat reported.
The building's history also shows various maintenance requests being filed and subsequently addressed, including door/window frame issues, water leaks, and plumbing concerns. A bedbug report covering 2023-2024 showed no infestations, and the building's history shows regular rodent control efforts, with some inspections passing while others indicated rat activity, particularly in 2017. The property also had an ECB violation in 2018 for work done without proper permits related to a kitchen sink removal on the 2nd floor.
