The property has a documented history of rodent activity, with multiple inspections showing "Rat Activity" or "Failed for Other Reasons" results between 2022-2024, though some inspections passed. While the building experienced bedbug infestations in 2019-2022, recent reports (2022-2024) indicate no current infestations. The property has also faced sidewalk shed maintenance issues and violations for various unsafe conditions, particularly regarding emergency systems and fire safety equipment. The most recent 311 complaints suggest ongoing concerns with building systems and pest control, despite some issues being resolved or determined not to violate housing laws.
