The building has documented rodent activity, with inspections showing rat presence as recently as July 2025, despite multiple bait applications throughout 2024 and early 2025. Additionally, there are several active violations related to the building's systems and maintenance, including a potentially serious violation regarding belated filing of low-pressure inspections from 2018-2023, and exposure electrical issues documented in 2022. The building's maintenance record shows both Class A and Class C violations in 2023-2024, including issues with window frames, door self-closing mechanisms, and pest infestations in Apartment 1C (including both mice and cockroaches).

There are also multiple active violations related to the failure to file various required documents, including energy benchmarking reports and annual bedbug reports. The property has undergone several inspections and received multiple violations related to its heating system, window functionality, and general maintenance, with documentation showing some violations were certified as corrected, while others remain open, including a bedbug reporting requirement. The building's history also shows periods of improvement, with certain complaints being resolved promptly, though the recurring nature of heating issues and persistent rodent activity suggests ongoing maintenance challenges.
