The building has experienced persistent maintenance issues in recent years, with the most recent cluster of complaints in April 2025 including ceiling damage requiring painting/plaster repairs, and electrical outlet/switch problems, both of which resulted in HPD violations. The property has a significant history of water-related issues, with multiple complaints about leaks and flooding, particularly affecting the first-floor apartment (1W).

The building has also faced electrical issues, including a power outage in early 2024 and problems with multiple electrical outlets. Health concerns have been documented, including rodent activity with multiple inspections and baiting procedures throughout 2024, though there were no bedbug infestations reported in the 2021-2022 period. Recent inspections and complaints reveal ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly affecting apartment 1W, which has multiple open violations regarding window frames, bathroom tiles, water leaks, electrical outlets, and plaster surfaces.

The building's most recent bedbug report from 2023 indicated no infestations, and the property has maintained its bedbug reporting requirements since 2019. The building filed violations for failing to submit the 2022 external low pressure inspection, and there was a complaint about the building vibrating in early 2025, though no violations were found during inspection. While the building has a history of maintenance issues, the property has generally responded to HPD inspections, though many violations remain open as of the latest available data.
