The property has experienced numerous maintenance and safety issues in recent years, with the most pressing concerns emerging in 2025, including open complaints about the fire escape safety and mailbox conditions, along with multiple complaints about plumbing (toilet) and door issues that received violations. A significant cluster of issues was documented in April 2025, with complaints about mold, door problems, and fire escape safety, some of which resulted in violations.

The building has persistent fire escape safety concerns, with open violations as of August 2024 regarding a shoe attachment and obstruction issues, though the property has not shown any bedbug infestations since 2019. The building has a history of illegal conversion investigations, with multiple complaints filed between 2020-2025, though inspectors often encountered access issues. As of 2024, there are several open violations related to building maintenance, including issues with doors, windows, and fire escape conditions, as well as a failure to properly maintain the front yard.

The property has also undergone regular rodent control measures, with bait applications recorded throughout 2023-2025, and inspections in 2023 revealing rat activity in multiple instances. The building's management has faced challenges with waste management and sanitation, as evidenced by multiple HPD complaints regarding garbage/recycling storage, particularly noticeable in August 2024. While the building has had several emergency complaints, the overall response has varied, with some issues being promptly addressed while others remain unresolved, particularly the safety-related concerns that were reported in recent months.
