The building has also faced electrical challenges, including two power outages in 2023 and 2024. A significant cluster of violations was recorded in August 2023, primarily affecting Apartment 2B, including issues with mold, flooring, and multiple housing maintenance code violations related to safety equipment such as smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors, as well as problems with the bathroom fixtures and pest control.

However, recent rodent inspections in 2025 showed improved results with "Passed" status.

The property has maintained a clean bedbug record over the past five reporting periods from 2021 to 2025, with no reported infestations. Recent inspections in 2024-2025 have identified some code violations, including a missing heating system signage and a defective entrance door lock, though many previous violations have been closed after remediation.
