The building has documented rat activity in multiple inspections throughout 2024-2025, with the most recent inspections in June and February 2025 showing continued pest issues.
Apartment 403 has been the focus of specific maintenance concerns, with multiple violations issued in 2024 for pest infestations (mice and roaches) and various structural issues, including problems with cabinets, window guards, and self-closing doors. The building's elevator system has been the subject of multiple complaints, with three separate elevator-related complaints filed in 2023-2025, though all were closed without violation. Earlier heating system problems were noted in 2021 with multiple boiler-related complaints, though inspections found no violations.
Notable past issues include a 2018 ECB violation regarding elevator safety devices. The property has shown some patterns of infestation, with documented bedbug cases in 2024 and 2021, though recent reports indicate fewer problems. The building's location has attracted attention for various housing maintenance code violations over the years, though many have been resolved through proper certification of corrections.
