A significant cluster of complaints was documented in December 2024, including violations related to plumbing (radiator), electrical systems (outlet/switch), and flooring conditions, though some inspections found no housing law violations.

The building has also faced multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations, particularly in Apartment 1B (2014-2025), involving inoperable smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, defective air valves, and lighting issues. The property shows an ongoing concern with heat/hot water systems, with multiple emergency complaints in 2024-2025.

A water leak issue was reported in November 2024, and rodent activity has been documented in multiple inspections between 2022-2025, though recent inspections have passed. The building has maintained a zero infestation record for bedbugs in recent years (2021-2025), with the most recent reports showing no affected units. While many complaints have been addressed and closed, several violations remain open or have been certified as corrected without follow-up confirmation through inspections.
