Although no bedbug infestations were reported in the most recent three reporting periods (2022-2025), there was one isolated incident in 2020-2021.

These recent and historical issues indicate ongoing maintenance and compliance challenges within the building, particularly regarding basic services like heat and hot water, as well as concerns about building safety and sanitation. The property has demonstrated some response to violations, with many being closed and corrected, though some active violations remain as of the latest records.
